Israel is sending voice messages to mobile phones in Lebanon as part of a psychological war, inciting the Lebanese against Hizbullah after a prisoner swap with the Shiite group, Voice of Lebanon Radio station reported Thursday.

It said it received complaints from south Lebanon and Beirut residents that they began receiving recorded voice messages promising retaliation to any attack and urging them not to allow the establishment of a Hizbullah "state within the state."

During the 2006 war, Israel used a variety of technological weapons to wage a psychological war on Lebanon, including hacking into Hizbullah's Al-Manar television station and sending text messages and voice messages to mobile phones.

On Wednesday, Israel released five Lebanese prisoners and the bodies of 199 Lebanese, Palestinian and Arab fighters in exchange for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers captured by Hizbullah in July 12, 2006.
