Israel cuts internet services in central, south Gaza

Palestinian telecommunications company Paltel reported on social media that home internet services in the central and southern Gaza Strip have been disrupted “due to the ongoing aggression” by the Israeli army.

“Our crews are working hard to restore services as quickly as possible,” the statement said.

Interruptions to internet and phone services have been a recurring issue during Israel’s conflict with Gaza, with higher frequency in the early months of the war.

In January, the digital civil rights group Access Now accused Israel of using communications blackouts as a weapon of war.
