Camera lens behind Israel–Iran conflict: How Iran’s missiles are finding their mark

Iran is reportedly hacking private CCTV cameras inside Israel to assess missile impacts in real time. Israeli officials say these breaches are helping Iran adjust its targeting during ongoing hostilities, raising urgent concerns about the global misuse of everyday tech in wartime. The tactic mirrors previous hacks by Hamas and Russia, exposing widespread vulnerabilities in unsecured cameras. Despite repeated warnings, tens of thousands of Israeli devices remain unprotected — turning home surveillance into an unintended source of battlefield intelligence.
