Narrative:
I was surprised to read the tlv GPS ops alert (rescinding the 'GPS updating off procedures' ops alert) saying; 'tlv authorities have reported that GPS signals are no longer compromised' prior to departing for tlv. On the numerous trips I have flown there since last year; the GPS has been jammed on every trip. As we approached the tlv fir; we got the ads-B EICAS; status; and ads-B checklist prompt. At the same time; at the bottom of the nd; we went from GPS to inertial--exactly as it has happened on all the other tlv arrivals I've flown since last year. After completing the checklist; (switching transponder from left to right); we were no longer jammed and the EICAS message went away and the airplane switched back to GPS updating. A few minutes later; the exact same scenario happened again. Finally; as we approached the shoreline; it happened for a third time.

Title: B-777 Captain reported experiencing GPS jamming multiple times during approach to Tel Aviv airport.
Narrative: I was surprised to read the TLV GPS Ops Alert (rescinding the 'GPS Updating OFF Procedures' Ops Alert) saying; 'TLV authorities have reported that GPS signals are no longer compromised' prior to departing for TLV. On the numerous trips I have flown there since last year; the GPS has been jammed on EVERY trip. As we approached the TLV FIR; we got the ADS-B EICAS; STATUS; and ADS-B checklist prompt. At the same time; at the bottom of the ND; we went from GPS to inertial--exactly as it has happened on all the other TLV arrivals I've flown since last year. After completing the checklist; (switching transponder from L to R); we were no longer jammed and the EICAS message went away and the airplane switched back to GPS updating. A few minutes later; the exact same scenario happened again. Finally; as we approached the shoreline; it happened for a third time.
