Israel has allegedly hacked ATC of Beirut-Rafic Hariri Airport preventing an Iranian Caro flight to land

Israel has allegedly breached the communication network of the control tower at Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport and warned an Iranian plane against landing, prompting the aircraft to turn around and return to Tehran, Israeli media reported on Saturday.

According to reports, Israel supposedly hacked into the communications system of the Beirut control tower, warning that it would not allow the landing of a cargo plane from Qasem Air Flight QFZ9964, as it was approaching for landing.

Lebanon’s Transport Minister, Ali Hamieh, stated to the Lebanese newspaper “An-Nahar” that the IDF intercepted the radio frequency of the international airport’s control tower and warned that it would attack the airport if an Iranian civilian aircraft on its way to Lebanon landed there.
