The European Union Aviation Safety Agency has issued a warning that Israel’s disruption of GPS signals could pose potential risks to the navigation systems of passenger aircraft.
Israel’s attempt to disrupt GPS signals, possibly in anticipation of retaliation from Tehran, has prompted action from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. There is serious concern that this step could jeopardize the safety of passenger aircraft.
It has emerged that Israel has expanded its signal jammers out of concern for potential retaliation following an attack on Iran’s consulate in Damascus. This expansion has resulted in Israeli locations appearing on devices in Beirut and Cairo.
The disruption of GPS signals could not only affect navigation but also cause payment and delivery applications to malfunction. The EU Aviation Safety Agency warns that this situation could lead to serious disruptions in the navigation systems of passenger aircraft.
Israel’s GPS signal jamming activities have spread across a wide area in recent days, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. It is known that Israel’s military has intensified its GPS signal jamming activities against UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) attacks by resistance groups.
