原文:
Israeli planes dropping propaganda leaflets over Beirut on March 13 caused a number of loud booms in the sky, terrifying residents of the Lebanese capital. AFP correspondents heard four successive booms at short intervals, before clouds of paper leaflets appeared high in the air.
State media said that the noise was "caused by Israeli aircraft flying at a very low altitude and dropping leaflets over a number of areas, specifically in Verdun, Hamra, and Ain al-Mreisseh", western Beirut neighbourhoods.
One of the leaflets, addressed to the Lebanese people, said: "You must disarm Hezbollah, Iran's shield", and "Lebanon is your decision, not someone else's".
The leaflet included a QR code, along with the phrase: "Unit 504 is working to secure the future of Lebanon and its people." Unit 504 is an Israeli military intelligence unit.
Lebanon's military in a statement warned citizens "against scanning the codes and clicking on these links", citing "legal and security risks, as well as the potential for hacking mobile phones and accessing personal data".
中譯:
以色列戰機3月13日在黎巴嫩首都貝魯特上空投放宣傳傳單時,引發多次巨大的空中爆響,嚇壞了當地居民。法新社記者聽到4次接連出現、間隔很短的爆響聲,隨後天空高處出現一片片的紙質傳單。
國營媒體表示,這些聲響「是由以色列戰機以極低空飛行並在多個地區投放傳單所造成」,地點包括西貝魯特的韋爾登、哈姆拉及阿爾穆雷賽等社區。
其中一張傳單是針對黎巴嫩人民的,上面寫著:「你們必須解除真主黨、伊朗盾牌的武裝」,並稱「黎巴嫩應由你們自己決定,而不是別人」。
傳單上還附有一個快速反應碼,寫著:「504部隊正致力於確保黎巴嫩及其人民的未來。」504部隊是以色列一個軍事情報單位。
黎巴嫩軍方在一份聲明中警告民眾「不要掃描這些QR Code或點擊相關連結」,理由是這可能帶來「法律與安全風險,也可能導致手機被駭並使個人資料遭到存取」。
