Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
does Israel have satellite takedown missiles?
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 assume they could just jam radio signals.
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
Morbidly, they could also just bomb where the dishes are
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.
I think they have. one of their AA missiles is anti satelite
