Canada and US both attacked
The incident occurred at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania and Kelowna International Airport in Canada.
Social media videos captured the moment travelers stopped in confusion as the hacked systems played political recordings.

Authorities confirmed the cyberattack targeted airport loudspeakers and flight information screens, causing delays but no flight safety risks.
Investigators are still determining how the systems were breached, while technicians quickly shut down affected networks to stop further interference.
Harrisburg airport spokesperson Scott Miller said,
“An unauthorized user gained access to the airport PA system and played an unauthorized recorded message.”
He added that the content was political but contained “no threats against the airport, our tenants, airlines, or passengers.”

In Kelowna, travelers reported screens flashing pro-Hamas messages, including one reading:
“ISRAEL LOST THE WAR, HAMAS WON THE WAR HONORABLY. You are a pig, Donald Trump.”
The disruption drew widespread attention online, with some passengers describing confusion and frustration as staff moved to restore order.
Officials confirmed that no group has claimed responsibility for the coordinated hack, though the phrase “cyber Islam” in the recordings has drawn scrutiny from cybersecurity experts.

Hamas Claims Struggle to Recover Remaining Bodies in Gaza
The hack came as Hamas announced that recovering the remaining bodies of hostages in Gaza could take weeks due to damaged infrastructure.
The group said, “The remaining bodies require significant efforts and specialised equipment to search for and retrieve, and we are making a great effort to close this file.”
A Hamas spokesman, Salama Marouf, blamed Israeli restrictions on equipment entering Gaza.
“Preventing the entry of heavy equipment and machinery needed to remove 55 million tons of rubble… will undoubtedly affect the resistance’s ability to extract from under the rubble the dead prisoners (hostages),” he said.

Israeli officials accused Hamas of deliberately slowing the process, saying the group holds more bodies than it admits.
One official told reporters, “We know they can do more and we don’t think anybody should give them any discounts.”
