Internet and communications disrupted in Gaza, companies in the enclave say

 

Communications and internet services in the Gaza Strip are fully down, three Palestinian internet providers announced on Tuesday in statements posted on their social media accounts, Paralel.Az reports citing CNN.

"We regret to announce a complete interruption of fixed telecommunications and Internet services with the beloved Gaza Strip, due to the continued aggression. Our technical crews are working to restore services despite the dangerous field conditions," a statement published on Jawwal Group's official Facebook account said on Tuesday. Ooredoo and Paltel posted similar statements on their Facebook pages, with both citing ongoing fighting in Gaza.

Internet monitoring site Netblocks told CNN on Wednesday that the network data indicated a new collapse in connectivity in the Gaza Strip.

"Our telemetry confirms a new disruption in connectivity in the Gaza Strip — today's incident is consistent with previous internet and telecoms blackouts and, as in past incidents, is likely to leave most residents offline. Even when there's some connectivity, service remains significantly below pre-conflict levels," Netblocks told CNN in a written statement.
