Pro-Hamas Hack Hits 4 North American Airports: ‘F*** Trump,’ ‘Israel Lost’ Messages Broadcast | VIDEO | World News
On Tuesday, three airports in Canada and one in the United States were hit by a coordinated cyberattack that displayed screens and public address systems with messages saluting Hamas and using profanities against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump.
The politically sensitive breach raised eyebrows among commuters and is now being federally investigated in both countries.
Targeted Airports and Political Slogans

The cyber attacks were aimed at smaller regional airports, exploiting vulnerabilities in third-party software to reach public communications networks. Targeted facilities are:
Canada: Kelowna International Airport (British Columbia), Victoria International Airport (British Columbia) and Windsor International Airport (Ontario).
United States: Harrisburg International Airport (Pennsylvania).
The messages that emerged and were broadcast were highly political:
The message “Israel lost the war, Hamas won the war honorably” appeared on the screens said to show flight information at Kelowna International Airport.
NEW: Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania was hacked to broadcast “F*ck Trump” message over loudspeakers
“Fuck Trump — Free Palestine, Free Palestine, Free Palestine”

A woman’s voice was heard saying “Free Palestine” and cursing President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu over the loudspeaker at Harrisburg International Airport. It was stated that the audio also included the words “Turkish hacker Cyber Islam was here.”
The same pro-Hamas messages and anti-Trump sentiments were displayed and published on other Canadian sites.
Unauthorized Intrusion into Third Party Software
Airport managers moved quickly to quarantine infected systems and resume normal business. Representatives of the airports stated that the breach was not in their core flight control network but was caused by external system compromise.
A spokesperson for Victoria International Airport confirmed the hackers used “third-party software” to break into the public network, so the airport immediately switched to an internal backup. Windsor International Airport also released a statement confirming that the breach was traced to a “cloud-based software provider.”
US Transport Secretary Sean Duffy condemned the attack on the X, saying it was “completely unacceptable and understandably frightened passengers”.
Federal Agencies Begin Investigation
Cyber attacks are actively investigated by law enforcement and national security officials in both the United States and Canada.
In Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is investigating the breach at three Canadian airports and is receiving assistance from the Canadian Cyber Security Centre. In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration and airport officials are coordinating an investigation into the breach at Harrisburg International Airport.
The attack is the latest in a series of cyberattacks targeting the aviation industry worldwide, following disruptions at several European airports last month.
