Israeli media reports that Israel has hacked the communications of the Beirut-Rafik Hariri International Airport and has prohibited Iranian aircraft from landing, resulting in a plane having to return to Tehran.
Sources revealed that Israel intercepted communications and issued a warning that it would not allow the landing of the CASEM AIR cargo company’s flight QFZ9964. The warning came as the plane was already in the process of landing.
The Ministry of Transport stated that Israel had declared its readiness to strike the airport if the Iranian plane landed. To prevent any escalation, the Minister of Transport intervened promptly and prohibited the aircraft from landing in Lebanon.
This incident took place amidst heightened tensions surrounding flights from Iran to Lebanon. The situation was exacerbated by the Israeli Defense Army’s announcement of the elimination of key Hezbollah figures, including founder Sayed Hassan Nasellla and commander Ali Karaki.
