  The report pointed out that when Israeli drivers use navigation apps Waze or Google Maps, their location information often shows that they are in distant Beirut or the Sinai Peninsula. GPS-dependent apps such as Wolt Delivery and Gett have also been affected.

Such positioning deviation incidents not only affect personal travel, but also seriously disrupt people's livelihood services such as express delivery and food delivery.Wifi jammer

  The reason behind this GPS interference is related to the defensive measures in the conflict between the Israel Defense Forces and Hezbollah. Experts believe that Israel has stepped up GPS interference in the north to interfere with the ability of Hezbollah or Iran to launch attacks using GPS. Yigal Ona, former head of Israel's network system, said that this interference is a defensive measure, but its "side effects" are obvious, that is, the negative impact on people's daily lives.

  Since October this year, the Israel Defense Forces have collaborated with the Waze application development team to limit the display of traffic data in some security-sensitive areas, but the current GPS interference range has expanded to central Israel, covering a much wider range than before. In addition to ordinary people, the positioning accuracy of emergency responders and the transportation industry has also been affected. It is reported that passengers on the Tel Aviv light rail were unable to use Moovit to pay for their fares due to inaccurate positioning; there are even reports that the smart lock's mobile phone will turn on and off automatically during the interference.
