Israel: GPS disabled and IDF leave cancelled over Iran threat
BBC ^ | 4/4/2024 | Hugo Bachega

Posted on 04/04/2024 11:09:11 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

GPS is being blocked across swathes of Israel in order to disrupt missiles and drones, as tensions rise with Iran.

Iran has vowed to respond after a strike on its consulate building in Syria on Monday - which Israel was widely believed to be behind - killed 13 people, including a senior general.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also announced it was halting all leave for soldiers serving with combat units.

It comes a day after reservists were called up to bolster air defence units. Israeli authorities seem to believe an Iranian response is imminent and could come as soon as Friday, which is Quds Day - or Jerusalem Day - the last Friday in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

As I posted a few months ago, the nuclear clock now stands at 1 minute before midnight. We have never been this close to an world wide nuclear war. Joe and the Democrats want you to believe everything is wonderful. But the fact of the matter is we will be involved in a nuclear war possibly before the year is over. The Biden administration will of course blame Trump. But it is entirely the fault of the Democrats and Joe Biden. Be ready, have food, water, batteries, fuel and ammo stored.

One day — probably soon — Israel will strike suddenly and comprehensively. (That is their Way.)

...and the world will gasp in astonishment.

Crickets from Russia and China. No calls for de-escalation to prevent tomorrow’s expected attacks from their ally Iran.

I have free. Just checked and 2nd U2 turned off its transponder.

There’s US C-17 landing soon in Poland with supplies destined for Ukraine.

This should give Israel the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to strike back against Iran and take out their Nuke facilities while they're at it!

Is this news the reason?

I think the “surprise” is that Iran already HAS nuclear weapons. They have been enriching for the last year or so. And they have tech from Korea and Russia.

It’s a shame because the Iranian people have been thirsting for Western style freedom for decades. Now they will have a civil war among a radioactive ruined country.

Obviously Iran is going to retaliate.

The question is, what’s the game Israel is playing here?
