Communication services slowly restored across Gaza

Communication services have been gradually restored across Gaza, a main telecom provider and an advocacy group say, 15 hours after the territory experienced its third communication blackout since the war began on Oct. 7.

Palestinian communications company Paltel announces that its services, including fixed, mobile and internet communications, have been gradually restored.

Alp Toker, director of the internet advocacy group NetBlocks.org, confirms that internet connectivity has been restored to levels prior to Sunday’s disruption. Overall service, however, remains significantly below prewar levels, he says.
