Passengers at two airports thousands of miles apart were jolted Tuesday when loudspeakers and screens suddenly blared pro-Hamas messages and insults aimed at President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — in a coordinated cyberattack that spanned international borders.

The incidents occurred at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania and Kelowna International Airport in British Columbia, where stunned travelers captured videos of the unauthorized broadcasts echoing through terminals and flashing across flight-information monitors. Officials say the digital break-ins targeted both public-address and display systems, briefly disrupting operations but not flight safety.

At Harrisburg, an “unauthorized user” accessed the airport’s PA network and played a recorded political message, according to airport spokesperson Scott Miller. The system was shut down within minutes, and police searched one boarding aircraft “out of an abundance of caution.” No threats or explosives were found, and the plane departed safely.

Kelowna airport reported a nearly identical breach. In a statement shared with CNN, officials confirmed a third party accessed both audio and visual systems, displaying slogans such as “Free Palestine.” The messages were removed, flight data restored, and investigations launched with help from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Transport Canada.

No group has claimed responsibility. However, cybersecurity experts say the attacks resemble a wave of pro-Palestinian hacktivist operations that have surged since the 2023 Israel-Gaza war. Collectives linked to “Dark Storm Team” and “OpIsrael” have claimed hundreds of intrusions on transportation, financial, and government networks across North America and Europe — exposing growing vulnerabilities in cloud-based airport infrastructure.

The FBI and Canadian authorities are now investigating.
