Middle East War Stops GPS System in Israel

Iran's attack Monday?

Before a formidable Iranian attack on Israel, GPS use has been cut off in large parts of Israel. The Times of Israel and Ynet news portal reported that not only areas close to the Lebanon border were affected but also areas populated in the centre of the country, citing users.

The positioning system is also used by fears to find their target. Israel is on high alert after Iran threatened revenge for the murder of Hamas' foreign chief, Ismail Haniya. Israel has not yet officially commented on the charges.

Drivers in Israel suddenly saw on their screen that they were in Lebanese capital Beirut, media reports. Even before Iran's major attack with hundreds of rockets and fears in April, the Israeli Army had announced that it had deliberately interrupted the satellite-based positioning system.

In response to a question about the recent destruction of the GPS, the military now answered: “No comment”.

A further indication of a possible imminent attack by Iran and Allied militias in other countries in the region was the arrival of the US Regional Command Commander General Michael Eric Curilla in Israel. That's how the American news portal “Axios” lets you know. Curilla also travelled to Israel shortly before the great Iranian attack in April.

In addition, Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, citing American and Israeli sources, reports that an attack could occur on Monday.

According to Iranian media reports, Iran has so far rejected all media efforts for mediation.
