Lebanon says Israeli GPS jamming confounding ground, air traffic
Uber driver Hussein Khalil was battling traffic in Beirut when he found himself in the Gaza Strip -- according to his online map, anyway -- as location jamming blamed on Israel disrupts life in Lebanon.
"We've been dealing with this problem a lot for around five months," said Khalil, 36.
"Sometimes we can't work at all," the disgruntled driver told AFP on Beirut's chaotic, car-choked streets.
"Of course, we are losing money."
