## Key context

### Why there are no cams in Israel, Ukraine and other war zones

Live cameras near strike sites help attackers aim. In Ukraine, the security service has shut down public webcams that Russian forces used to watch air-defence activity, and publishing footage of strikes is banned. In Israel, the military censor bans broadcasting impact sites and interception locations, and the authorities have acted against live feeds that showed them. We follow those rules and go further: no cams in Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Russia or Belarus, and none near military bases anywhere.

## FAQ

### Where can I watch live cams from around the world?

This page lists 183 public webcams in 5 cities, with a page per city. Every image links to its live view and 24-hour timelapse on Windy.com, which runs the largest public webcam network.

### Is there a live cam in Israel?

We do not list live cams in Israel. Israeli law and military censorship rules ban broadcasting the sites of missile impacts and the location of air-defence interceptions, and live cams have been misused to correct fire. For live pictures, use Israel's public broadcaster Kan or the official Western Wall camera, linked on this page.

### Is there a live cam in Ukraine or Kyiv?

We do not list live cams in Ukraine. Ukraine bans publishing footage of strike sites and air-defence activity, and public webcams have been used by Russian forces to adjust attacks. Ukraine's public broadcaster Suspilne streams live news instead.

### Is there a live cam in Tehran or Iran?

We do not list cams in Iran, Lebanon, Syria or Russia while active wars and strike campaigns continue there, for the same safety reasons.

### Are these cams really live?

The images are recent stills from each cam (usually a few minutes old); the 'live view' link opens the latest picture and the timelapse player on Windy.com. Each card shows how old its image is.
