Gaza under longest internet blackout since war began, monitor says
A telecommunications blackout in the Gaza Strip has entered its sixth day, the longest continuous outage since the Israel-Hamas war began, internet monitor NetBlocks says.
Gaza’s internet services have been constantly disrupted throughout the war, now in its fourth month.
“The disruption, now entering its sixth day, is the longest sustained telecoms outage on record since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war,” NetBlocks says in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
