Warnings of Israeli leaflets containing dangerous barcodes in Lebanon
Beirut (Quds News Network)- Residents of the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon were warned on Tuesday regarding leaflets being dropped by Israel, which contain a barcode described as highly dangerous. According to Hezbollah’s media office, scanning the barcode with a mobile phone could result in the extraction of all information from the device.
The statement did not specify whether the leaflets contained any additional content, but the party urged extreme caution, advising residents not to scan the code under any circumstances.
As of now, the Israeli military has not commented on the matter.
This warning comes just a day after Lebanese citizens reported receiving Israeli warning messages on their phones, instructing them to evacuate immediately. The Lebanese National News Agency confirmed that people in Beirut and other regions had received these messages, which were identified as originating from Israel. The agency described the warnings as part of Israel’s psychological warfare tactics.
In the hours following these messages, Israel launched a series of intense airstrikes across Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of 558 people on Monday alone.
In response, Hezbollah targeted Israeli military sites with its “Fadi 1” and “Fadi 2” missiles.
Journalist Carmen Joukhadar from Al Jazeera also warned that Israeli forces were distributing leaflets with barcodes in several Lebanese areas, urging the public not to open or circulate them and to destroy them immediately to avoid any data theft. She emphasized the importance of taking all necessary safety precautions.
