       In recent years, Israeli people who use navigation applications have been seriously affected by GPS interference, which has become more frequent recently. signal jammer Users in many places reported that when they used navigation software such as Waze, Google Maps and the taxi app Gett, their location information was displayed in places where they were not, even as far as Beirut in Lebanon or Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. cell phone jammer This error not only brings inconvenience to daily travel, but also affects services that rely on GPS, such as freight and delivery.GPS jammer

  According to Israel Today, services that require precise positioning, such as the Wolt delivery platform, often encounter similar problems. Wifi jammer Dima Khalil, a Wolt deliveryman, said that because the system showed that he was in the Sinai Peninsula, the order could not be delivered normally, affecting the efficiency of the service. Yuval Barak in Tel Aviv said that one day he wanted to go to Petah Tikva for a meeting, but the navigation showed that he was circling in the center of Beirut. He restarted the application many times, but the problem could not be solved.drone jammer

  The cause of GPS interference has attracted people's attention. The report analyzed that the IDF may have conducted GPS jamming operations during the intensified conflict with Hezbollah in northern Israel, possibly to respond to potential security threats and prevent weapons or equipment such as drones from relying on GPS positioning. However, the military has not made an official comment on this.

  In addition, the impact of GPS signal problems on daily life is multifaceted. For example, passengers on the Tel Aviv light rail encountered difficulties when using Moovit to pay fares due to inaccurate positioning, and some mobile phones with smart locks even turned on and off by themselves. Such problems have attracted the attention of the Israeli National Network System, and former head Yigal Ona pointed out that such interference is an effective means of confusing GPS positioning. He said: "This is a defensive measure, not an attack, but its side effects cannot be ignored."

  The GPS jamming incident came at a time of tension in the Middle East. After the assassination of Iranian General Mohammad Reza Zahedi in Syria, Iran threatened to retaliate against Israel. Israel immediately strengthened its air defense system and improved its combat readiness. At the same time, residents in northern and central Israel are also adapting to the impact of GPS interference on their daily lives.
