Israeli air strike on Syria jammed Lebanon cell phones
2007-09-13
The jamming of the communications system in Lebanon in recent days was apparently caused by Israel's air strikes on Syria, Telecommunications Minister Marwan Hamadeh uncovered. Hamadeh said that while the source of interference has not been officially determined, the jamming coincided with Israel's aggression against Syria on Thursday.

"What we have witnessed over the past four or five days started with the aggressive Israeli infiltration on Syria," Hamadeh said in remarks published by the daily An Nahar on Wednesday. He said the interference has dwindled toward a stop by late Tuesday. It was the biggest jamming of cell phones since last summer's Israel's offensive against Lebanon, Hamadeh added.

#1  I call it well thought out logistics and preopts required. The operation's flight plans would not be 'shielded' as such should enemy communications and or civilian sitings 'tailed' the jets. My advice to Syria...you jam, they jam, we all jam; get over it or invest in antijam communications from this point on!
