According to a report published by Bloomberg, traffic was affected and some services such as food delivery were disrupted, and transportation applications showed that Tel Aviv residents are in Lebanon.
According to the report, this preventive measure taken by Israel caused an impact on the Global Positioning System (GPS).
The report indicated that the move aims to disable drones or missiles that use the Global Positioning System (GPS) that may be launched by Iran or its agents.
A few days ago, a raid on a diplomatic compound in Syria, widely believed to have been carried out by Israel, resulted in the killing of senior Iranian military officials.
Iran vowed to respond.
Israel has not issued new security directives to its citizens since that raid, but the army has suspended leave for all combat units and reinforced the manpower of air defense units.
For months, the army has been interfering with navigational signals in northern Israel and in the coastal city of Eilat on the Red Sea.
Both came under repeated missile and drone fire.
The military has not publicly acknowledged the disruption of GPS in Tel Aviv even though it controlled all conversations in the city, according to a Bloomberg report.
Thursday was the first time this move was expanded to the region during the past six months of the war between Israel and Hamas.
