Chinese researchers identify suspected Israeli electronic warfare interference using open-source aviation data
Summary
Chinese military scientists report using an algorithm on civil aviation data to detect two sources of electronic interference spoofing locations near Israel. The interference is attributed to suspected Israeli electronic warfare units operating during the conflict with Iran. This development highlights the use of open-source intelligence (OSINT) to track electronic warfare capabilities and signals the involvement of third-party technical analysis in the conflict's information domain.
