GAZA CITY, Palestine
Many areas in the Gaza Strip witnessed a complete communications blackout amid “unprecedented” Israeli bombing on Friday evening, according to Palestinian media.
The Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa Channel reported that “the Israeli army is intensifying its air, sea, and land bombardment of all areas of Gaza in an unprecedented manner.”
It explained that “all telecommunications and internet services in Gaza are now shut down.”
The most recent Israeli airstrikes destroyed the last international cables connecting Gaza to the world, the channel added.
