Unauthorized recordings praising Hamas and criticizing Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu were broadcast over public address systems at four airports in the United States and Canada, causing disruptions and prompting official investigations. The incidents occurred at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania and at Kelowna, Victoria, and Windsor airports in Canada, where airport staff quickly shut off the public address systems and removed the messages.
Officials described the hacks as 'unacceptable' and assured travelers that no threats were made against airport operations or passengers. Security measures were heightened, including a precautionary aircraft search, but no safety issues were found and flights continued as scheduled. Authorities in both countries are working to determine how the breaches occurred and to prevent similar incidents in the future.
