The Israeli military took proactive measures on Thursday by activating GPS jamming inside Israel in order to neutralize potential threats, according to an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson.
Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari stated that the disruption to GPS services has already proven effective in neutralizing some threats, emphasizing the importance of remaining vigilant and responsible during this time.
While acknowledging that these disruptions may cause discomfort, Hagari stressed that they are essential tools in enhancing Israel's defense capabilities, as highlighted during a news briefing.
Israel heightened its state of alert on Thursday, anticipating a possible retaliatory attack following the suspected killing of Iranian generals in Damascus earlier in the week.
The IDF indicated a bolstered military readiness by temporarily suspending leave for its combat units, underscoring Israel's commitment to responding forcefully to any potential Iranian aggression in the coming days.
