      They could just claim the target as Hamas and bomb the dish, like they’ve been doing.

        I have information from a very serious source that Hamas is building concrete bunkers into existing satellites

        The source : it came to me in a prophetic vision

          It was actually a Hamas rocket that took out those satellites. The “go back down” Chip malfunctioned and it went into low earth orbit.

        I think that’s easier said than done with Starlink - the system is highly directional, you’d have to beam noise into the dish from the direction it’s pointed in

            It’s a bidirectional connection, so yeah, this is the most likely solution. The big drones employed by the US and Israeli air forces are equipped with SIGINT hardware to pinpoint radios, cell phones, and other transmitters on the ground so they can be targeted for strikes. Starlink uses directional antennas but it’s a phased directional antenna sending out a cone and not a beam like a laser. The radio frequencies used by Starlink are public information and because SpaceX has an exclusive license to use those bands, it’s extremely easy to identify and target Starlink modems on the ground.

          Very high gain antenna, but also a low power and long range link. Jamming is probably not difficult if you throw enough watts at the problem.
