Lebanon’s coastline, stretching from Beirut to Naqoura, has experienced ten days of persistent disruptions to cellular networks and both military and civilian radar systems, amid intensive daily flights by the Israeli electronic intelligence aircraft Nahshon Shavit 684, Erem News reported.

Observers say the unprecedented activity comes amid rising expectations of a potential Israeli ground operation in Lebanon, reportedly aimed at destroying the remaining heavy weaponry held by Hezbollah.

The Nahshon, a G550 Gulfstream operated by Squadron 122 at Nevatim Airbase, has conducted daily missions since November 22, each lasting between eight and eleven hours. The aircraft circles at 40,000 feet (around 12,000 meters), focusing its flight path on the coastal strip from Beirut southward to Naqoura near the border.

Lebanese military sources told Erem News that the aircraft is deliberately jamming 4G and 5G signals across coastal areas, disrupting Lebanese air defense radars at more than seven sites, and cutting communications between naval bases for several hours each day.

The sources described the situation as “an open electronic warfare,” carried out by Israeli and American intelligence aircraft continuously patrolling Lebanese airspace. They added that these planes do more than gather imagery: they record every phone signal, military communication, and radar transmission while simultaneously jamming them, effectively impairing the monitoring capabilities of both the Lebanese army and Hezbollah.

The operations are reportedly coordinated with the United States. American P-8A Poseidon surveillance aircraft have been observed flying continuously over the Lebanese coast in recent days, collecting intelligence and monitoring activity.

According to military sources, the primary goal of the Israeli intelligence flights is to compile a comprehensive database of all signal sources in Lebanon, including Hezbollah leadership, weapons caches, tunnels, and communication centers. The operations also aim to weaken Hezbollah’s ability to coordinate quickly in the event of a confrontation and to test the response of Lebanese air defenses to advanced electronic jamming.

The sources said the Israeli flights are effectively redrawing Lebanon’s intelligence map on a daily basis, describing the operations as “a daily electronic aggression that violates Lebanese sovereignty and threatens the ceasefire, with no effective response from the United Nations or sponsoring states.”

Residents along Lebanon’s coast have reported daily internet and phone outages lasting several hours, attributed to the electronic interference carried out by the Israeli aircraft over the past ten days.
