Gaza (Quds News Network)- The Gaza Strip has plunged into a complete internet and communication blackout after Israeli attacks severed the last remaining fiber-optic line, the Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority announced on Thursday.

The authority confirmed that fixed-line internet and telecommunication services are now entirely cut off across Gaza, including the central and southern regions, which have now joined the digital silence already imposed on Gaza City and the north for the past two days.

“This is the result of systematic attacks on Gaza’s already fragile telecom infrastructure,” the authority said in a statement. Technicians have tried multiple times to repair and reroute damaged lines, but Israeli restrictions have blocked all efforts.

Israel is preparing do something indescribably evil (on top of the unspeakable evils we've all witnessed so far).

Nukes!

You wouldn't be able to conceal the use of nukes by cutting the fiber lines.

I'm really worried. I can't even begin to imagine (or describe) what they could be planning but I am pretty confident that without a constant feed of new images of cruelty public opposition to Israel's actions will be more muted.
