Israel’s preparations to strike homes and buildings in southern Lebanon where it claimed Hezbollah was storing weapons included calling and texting Lebanese residents to evacuate areas that would come under fire, according to Lebanese and Israeli government officials.
. . .
The message was also heard on at least one Lebanese radio station, where Israel managed to seize control of the airwaves.
Israel was able to send the calls and texts by hacking into Lebanon’s telecommunications systems, a practice they have perfected over the last decade in Lebanon and in Gaza, according to two Israeli intelligence officers.
Yeah, I meant to say just for communications. They do use more modern tech for weapons (like drones and GoPros).
