Israel’s war on Gaza: Enclave plunged into new communications blackout

All internet and telecom services in Gaza cut as a result of the Israeli bombardment of the enclave, the main operator said.

It’s the sixth blackout to occur since October 7.

At least, 11 people have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Fayyad family home in the Mashal’ah area, south of Deir el-Balah.

Israel presented its defence at the International Court of Justice in The Hague in a case brought by South Africa alleging the country is committing genocide in Gaza.

At least 23,708 people have been killed and more than 60,005 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll in Israel from the October 7 Hamas attacks stands at 1,139.
