Google Maps app can be seen on a mobile phone. Google is disabling live traffic conditions in Israel and Gaza on its Maps and Waze apps, a spokesperson said Tuesday. "Anyone navigating to a specific place will still get routes and ETAs that take current traffic conditions into account." The spokesperson said Google is working with local authorities as part of the ongoing Israel-Hamas War. Google similarly disabled Maps live traffic data in Ukraine last year at the start of the Russia-Ukraine War, according to Reuters.

New York CNN —Google is temporarily disabling live traffic conditions on its mapping service apps, Google Maps and Waze, in Israel, the tech company confirmed Monday, as the country prepares for a potential ground invasion into Gaza. A Google spokesperson said the company consulted several sources that included regional and local authorities to make the assessment. However, Google did not say whether the tools would be disabled in Israel, Gaza or both. In Ukraine, Google temporarily disabled real-time vehicle data. Google Maps added that “anyone navigating to a specific place will still get routes and ETAs that take current traffic conditions into account.”Google acquired Israeli mapping service Waze in 2013 and merged both product teams in 2022.

Israel supporters hold flags as they protest, following Hamas' biggest attack on Israel in years, in Bogota, Colombia October 9, 2023. Cybersecurity threats in Israel are mounting amid the Israel-Hamas war, including two hijacked smart billboards that briefly showed pro-Hamas content, and a cyberattack on a college that published hundreds of thousands of personal records. More than 40 groups are currently attempting, or say they're attempting, cyberattacks, Messing said, adding these threats aren't uncommon. The motivation is more about creating fear and discomfort, not so much about creating damage that is significant." The biggest cyberattack so far this week involved Ono Academic College near Tel Aviv, Messing said.
