Palestinians Plunged Into Digital Darkness

“Cutting off an enemy’s communication lines is an ancient tool of war. But the near complete communications blackout in Gaza, as Israel expands its military campaign, has plunged residents into a deep digital darkness,” the Washington Post reports.

“Before Friday night — when phone and internet connections were abruptly severed — you could be poor in Gaza, you could struggle to charge a battery, but if you had a mobile phone with a few minutes of credit, you could still make a call. Now those minutes are useless.”

Meanwhile, Elon Musk says he will allow humanitarian groups in Gaza to use Starlink.
