Israel is carrying out heavy airstrikes and “intense bombings” around several hospitals in the north of the Gaza Strip, shortly after cutting off the internet service and communications.
The head of the government’s media office Salama Marouf said that “For more than an hour, intense bombings have been taking place around hospitals.”
All communications and internet services have been cut again within the Gaza Strip. “The main routes that were previously reconnected [are] cut off again from the Israeli side,” Palestinian telecommunications company Paltel says.
