Widespread GPS disruptions are currently being felt across Israel, according to reports from Kan 11 News. The cause is not stated, but such jamming in Israel is typically associated with military or security activity, including drills or operational measures against incoming threats.
Kan 11 News reports widespread GPS disruptions across Israel at 21:55 Jerusalem time. The report did not specify a cause. In the Israeli context, similar GPS jamming has been linked to military drills or operational electronic-warfare measures, including to disrupt guidance systems of incoming rockets or drones. A separate unconfirmed alert referenced something 'negative in the north near a tower' (translated from Hebrew 'שלילי בצפון ליד מגדל'), with no further details available; its relation to the GPS disruptions is unclear. This follows a pattern of periodic GPS jamming in the region, distinct from similar disruptions reported in Tehran earlier today (as The Zioneer reported at 22:39 Jerusalem, a BACKGROUND item not directly connected to this event). The situation remains under assessment; no official statement from the IDF or Home Front Command has been released at this time regarding the cause or duration of the disruptions.
