Yesterday (24 March), Brussels Airlines resumed flights to Tel Aviv. Airbus A320 OO-SNJ operated flight SN3289. Flightradar24 data show that the aircraft diverted to Beirut. However, the same FR24 website shows that one hour after landing in BEY (?), the flight departed normally from Tel Aviv. Wow: teleportation!

Note: a Brussels Airlines spokesman confirmed that flight SN3289 landed normally in TLV.
Flightradar24 tracking disallowed ?

While Flightradar24 is only guessing the diversion airport and in cases where ground receiver coverage is poor, that leads occasionally to incorrect guesses being made by FR24.
But in this case something else was going on. Once SN3289 was halfway between Cyprus and Israel, both FR24 and ADS-B Exchange received from SN3289 some strange ADS-B broadcasts (with position accuracy being reported as more than 10 NM = the worst grade of accuracy), with positions jumping all over the place.
And at the end of the flight these erratic positions reports, all centered (incorrectly) around Beirut airport.

My guess is, that the cause of all this can most likely be found on this map.
