Jordan and several other Middle Eastern countries are currently experiencing significant disruptions to their GPS signals, likely caused by Israeli jamming efforts, affecting civil aviation across the region. The Jordanian Civil Aviation Authority has reported that the interference in the GPS system has led to the use of alternative systems for air traffic. This widespread disruption, part of a massive Israeli GPS jamming operation, has impacted Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, and Lebanon. In response to these disruptions, Jordan has closed its airspace, as confirmed by Al Jazeera and a NOTAM announcement. The situation has escalated concerns, with fears of an Iran attack on Israel prompting the region to be on high alert.
