2023-10-28 Israel says it will fight Elon Musk’s effort to supply Starlink internet to ‘internationally recognized aid organizations’ in Gaza Internet and cellular services in the Gaza Strip went down after Israel bombarded the territory. It then began its first ground incursions into Gaza. The emergency 101 telephone number wasn’t working, meaning that ambulances could not be called. Many journalists and aid workers in the Gaza Strip were also out of contact, outlets including The Guardian reported. Israel’s communications minister, Shlomo Karhi, later responded to Musk’s post on X, saying Israel would fight against the SpaceX CEO’s effort to offer Starlink to Gaza. “Israel will use all means at its disposal to fight this,” Karhi said in the post. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-says-it-will-fight-elon-musk-s-effort-to-supply-starlink-internet-to-internationally-recognized-aid-organizations-in-gaza/ar-AA1j0ca2?
2023-10-27 ‘Massacres Will Be Done in Total Darkness’: Huge Israeli Assault Amid Blackout in Gaza People reportedly lost all access to internet and communication services across the Gaza Strip on Friday night as Israel announced an expansion of its ground attack and launched what observers described as the largest aerial assault since its latest bombing campaign began nearly three weeks ago. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said it has “completely lost contact with the operations room in Gaza Strip and all our teams operating there due to the Israeli authorities cutting off all landline, cellular, and internet communications.”
“We are deeply concerned about the ability of our teams to continue providing their emergency medical services, especially since this disruption affects the central emergency number ‘101’ and hinders the arrival of ambulance vehicles to the wounded and injured,” the group said. “We are also worried about the safety of our teams working in Gaza Strip as the continuous and intense Israeli airstrikes around the clock indicate that the Israeli authorities will continue to commit war crimes while isolating Gaza from the outside world.” https://www.commondreams.org/news/gaza-blackout
