Awaiting a promised "slap to the face," the Israeli military command resorts to rare actions, disrupting geolocations across occupied territories.

Israeli authorities are disrupting the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) in occupied territories, hoping to weaken "enemy capabilities" ahead of an anticipated Iranian response to the Israeli aggression on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria. 

Several Israeli media outlets reported on the effects of disruptions in what is more commonly known as GPS, which have caused devices in occupied Palestine to shift their geolocations to Lebanon's capital, Beirut. 

Makam News said that the disruption has also affected central occupied cities including "Tel Aviv's" "Gush Dan" area. By disrupting geopositioning systems, Israeli occupation forces hope to hinder the effectiveness of guided munitions and unmanned vehicles, such as ballistic missiles and drones. 

According to the Israeli media outlet, Israeli occupation forces have resorted to electronic jamming since the beginning of confrontations in northern occupied territories. This week has also seen electronic warfare systems' activation in "Arraba", 22 km away from the Israeli line of withdrawal from Lebanon, and the southernmost occupation city of "Eilat" on the Red Sea.

Israeli outlets also reported that the Israeli military command has canceled the vacations of every soldier and officer enlisted in combat roles, in anticipation of the response. The command also ordered heightened readiness in the north and "Eilat", while reservists were called up for the anti-air force.

It is worth noting that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq was able to deliver a huge blow to Israeli anti-air systems, by striking the Israeli Naval Base in "Eilat" with a one-way attack drone on Monday dawn. Most likely, the unmanned vehicle is guided via GNSS devices, which were able to bypass both jamming and detection. 

On the same day, "Israel" launched an egregious attack on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, overstepping international law and treaties, as well as all red lines in confrontation.

Later on Wednesday, Iran's leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei said that the Israeli occupation would not be able to avoid its defeat by resorting to "desperate acts" like the airstrike it carried out on the Iranian consulate in Syria.

The leader emphasized that the Zionist regime will eventually "come close to collapse and dissolution. Desperate attempts like the actions the regime committed in Syria will not save them from defeat," vowing that they will certainly "be slapped for these acts."
