ASHDOD, Israel \u2014 Residents of Gaza appear to have been plunged into another communications \u201cblackout\u201d this morning, with internet and phone services reported down.<\/p>\n

\u201cLive metrics show that the #Gaza Strip is in the midst of a new internet blackout with high impact to the last remaining major operator, Paltel,\u201d NetBlocks,\u00a0a U.K. company that tracks global internet connectivity, said in a post on X this morning. \u201cThe incident will be experienced as a total loss of telecommunications by most residents,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

Paltel confirmed the incident, saying there was a \u201ccomplete interruption\u201d of all telecommunications and internet services in the Gaza Strip \u201cdue to the international Lines being disconnected again.\u201d <\/p>\n

It comes after people across Gaza lost access to electricity and communication services over the weekend as Israel ramped up its bombardment of the enclave, as well as its ground operations across the border. The incident stoked fears over what would happen if Gazans lost their primary way of communicating with the outside world and sharing what was happening on the ground. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

South American countries recall ambassadors, cut ties with Israel<\/h2>\n

Bolivia said it was breaking diplomatic ties with Israel, citing airstrikes in Gaza, while Chile and Colombia said they were recalling their ambassadors.<\/p>\n

Bolivia\u2019s announcement is a step further than the actions announced by Chile and Colombia.<\/p>\n

\u201cBolivia demands an end to the attacks in the Gaza Strip, which have so far caused thousands of civilian deaths and the forced displacement of Palestinians; as well as the cessation of the blockade that prevents the entry of food, water and other essential elements for life,\u201d Bolivia\u2019s minister of the presidency, Mar\u00eda Nela Prada, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s military has said it seeks to minimize civilian casualties and that it is striking Hamas in Gaza. The country’s foreign ministry responded furiously to the news this morning, accusing Bolivia of a “surrender to terrorism.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
