Israel has bombed or otherwise disabled transmitters in Gaza providing internet connections to Palestinian journalists and civilians, according to local sources.
Gaza: Israel just blacked out its internet
As the Times of Israel reported:
The Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, based in the West Bank, says Israeli strikes on the main network lines in northern Gaza have collapsed internet and telephone services, cutting Gazans off from the outside world.
Multiple attempts by the Associated Press to reach people in Gaza City fail to go through.
The disabling of the network is forcing journalists to congregate around a few surviving sites with satellite connectivity, concentrating them in fewer areas and presenting easier targets to an occupation that has already shown it will target such sites to murder journalists en masse.
Gaza’s surviving journalists, who continue to broadcast despite knowing the Israeli regime intends to kill them as it has approaching four hundred of their colleagues throughout the genocide so far, have appealed for help to make sure their news – including this news – circulates widely.
