Israel's Bombing Campaign Leaves Gaza Without Internet Access

As Israel launched a heavy assault on the Gaza Strip, cutting off internet access for besieged Palestinians, the Israel Defense Forces spokesperson posted a warning on Facebook urging residents to evacuate. However, the ongoing airstrikes and electrical shortages have severely limited Palestinian access to the internet, leaving civilians at greater risk. The destruction of fiber optic cables and office buildings housing telecommunications firms, along with damage to the electrical grid, have caused a near-complete blackout of information from Gaza. Gazans are now left in a digital void, unable to connect with loved ones or access life-saving information.
