Dating apps in Israel and Lebanon have been experiencing confusion due to GPS signal jamming. This has led to citizens of the two countries being matched with potential partners from the other side, causing surprise and confusion. The increased tension between Israel and Lebanon, particularly following recent conflict involving Hamas and Hezbollah, has heightened the sensitivity around contact between the two countries. Some have attributed the dating app mix-up to Israel's military use of GPS jamming to prevent attacks, which may cause phones to register incorrect locations.
