For years Palestinians have had to rely on slower networks than those in Israel, affecting the flow of information
As Israel launched its heaviest bombardment of the war so far over the weekend, a communications blackout in Gaza meant Palestinians could not communicate via phone or internet with each other, aid groups or the rest of the world.
Paltel Group, a Palestinian company that is a major internet provider in the region, said in a post on X on Sunday that landline, mobile and internet services were gradually being restored in the Gaza Strip as its technical teams worked to address the “damage to the internal network infrastructure under challenging conditions”.
