Lebanese security forces yesterday warned people in Lebanon against using the CallApp mobile application over “suspicious activity linked to Israel”.

“In the framework of constant follow-up of suspicious applications, especially those created by the Israeli enemy, suspicions recently emerged about an application called CallApp, in terms of its operation by this enemy,” the General Directorate of State Security said in a statement.

The directorate called on Lebanese citizens and residents not to use the application, adding that the app was allowing its users to “control and manage all calls on their smartphones.”

“CallApp’s danger lies in its ability to control all the contact data of the phone,” the statement read.
