Hezbollah's media office said on Tuesday that Israel was dropping leaflets with a "very dangerous" barcode on them onto Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley, warning that scanning the code by phone would "withdraw all information" from any device.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military. Hezbollah's media office did not say if anything else was written on the flyers.
