In the midst of escalating tensions in Lebanon, security sources have raised alarms regarding a series of spoof calls warning individuals about potential airstrikes. These communications have been reported to originate from numbers that appear to be Lebanese, yet the calls themselves are actually coming from external sources, as clarified by Al-Jadeed channel. 

According to these sources, the calls are facilitated through specialized applications that mask the true origin of the call. While the displayed number may seem Lebanese, the actual call does not register on the local network. This situation complicates efforts to trace the source of the calls and identify the individuals responsible for them. The applications can be operated both from within Lebanon and from abroad, making it increasingly challenging for authorities to pinpoint the caller's location.

The security sources suggest that these calls could represent a form of psychological warfare, designed to induce fear and panic among the populace. They could also be individual pranks, aimed at causing distress among those who receive them.

Despite this ambiguity, officials have stressed that every call must be taken seriously. No targeted locations have been reported in conjunction with these communications, but the State has been cautious not to dismiss these warnings as mere hoaxes.

In related developments, security agencies have intensified their efforts to monitor and address these communications. In recent weeks, several individuals have been apprehended for issuing false alarms. The most recent case involved a person who jokingly warned about a building in the Debayeh area, leading to significant concern among local residents and authorities.
