“Israel lost the war,” one of the statements that appeared on information displays read
Messages praising Hamas and attacking top American and Israeli officials were broadcast through public address systems and displayed on digital screens at three airports in Canada and one in the US on Tuesday, according to local media outlets. Probes have reportedly been launched into what appeared to have been a coordinated cyberattack.
The alleged hacker attack targeted information displays and public address systems at two airports in British Columbia, Windsor International Airport in Ontario, and Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania.
Images of airport screens spread by local news outlets show the message “Israel lost the war, Hamas won the war honorably,” as well as a statement insulting US President Donald Trump. The screen also displayed the phrase “Hacked by Mutarrif Siberislam” as a digital signature. Audio broadcasts reportedly included pro-Palestinian chants such as “Free Palestine” and insults directed at both Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Airport authorities in Kelowna confirmed the incident, saying that a third party had accessed both the flight information display screens and public address system. A spokesperson for Victoria International Airport said that only the airport’s public address system had been affected by a breach. Transport Canada said it was aware of those hacks, along with another incident at Windsor International Airport. Authorities in Harrisburg confirmed that the incident is being investigated by local, state, and federal officials.
Dear @realDonaldTrump,
Canada’s Kelowna airport had a serious security breach. Hacked with Hаmаs propaganda.
Mark Carney won’t stand up to the Muslim Brotherhood, but will stand up for them.
🇨🇦 is a security threat to the world.

The breaches come as Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and hostage exchange. The military group freed the last 20 remaining Israeli hostages on Monday in return for the release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners under a deal brokered by the US, Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye. On Tuesday, Hamas began transferring the remains of the hostages killed during captivity, with seven bodies returned via the Red Cross.
Pro-Palestinian protests and anti-Israel incidents have been on the rise across Western countries since West Jerusalem launched its military operation against Hamas following the October 7 attack that saw some 1,200 people killed and 250 others taken hostage. The IDF’s retaliatory airstrikes and ground offensive in Gaza have claimed more than 68,000 lives and left upwards of 170,000 wounded, according to the Palestinian health authorities.
