Second day of GPS disruptions throughout the country: Following the IDF's masking as part of the defense tactic, GPS disruptions continue throughout the country. Surfers continue to report their location appearing mainly in the Cairo area in the various navigation apps. On dating sites, reports of Nazi messages against Israelis allegedly found in the heart Arab cities. The cyber system recommends downloading maps in advance and manually updating a shipping address.

Yesterday, Dadi Haziza, technological expert, entrepreneur and CEO of "Space tenna", explained in a conversation with "Maariv" that "when a disturbance is created in the GPS system, the cruise missiles or the UAVs lose their accuracy - and will not be able to reach the exact target they aimed at . It can completely disrupt their activity.

This is while the army knows how to neutralize the navigation disorder it itself produces - and among other things it has other additional systems that allow it to function and navigate.

In the end, all communication in planes, drones, systems and military forces in wars - is based on satellites and navigation, and if you damage this ability of the enemy - it can be significantly weakened. This technique definitely demonstrates the technological superiority of the IDF over other armies or terrorist organizations, neutralizes their ability to communicate and can reduce vulnerability dramatically.'

According to his words, this is by no means the first time that this technique is used to create an advantage during combat and struggle: "The whole idea of jamming the GPS was developed during the Cold War - by the US.

Later, the Americans carried out this interference in the war against Iraq to neutralize their operational activity - which would be like blind people without the navigation systems. In doing so, the US, like Israel, stops the GPS operation and disrupts it for the entire environment - except for its own army," he explains.
