Russian military units in Syria have begun jamming Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) signals in Israeli air space. This jamming is significantly and adversely affecting, among other things, civilian airliners trying to land at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.

Israel determined it was Russian military jamming and asked Russia to stop. Russia refused, saying it was necessary to protect their ally, Syria, from Israeli air-launched missile attacks!

At this hour, the jamming continues.
