Gaza connectivity being restored

Landline, mobile, and internet services are gradually being restored in the Gaza Strip, the Palestine Telecommunications Company (Paltel) said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"Real-time network data show that internet connectivity is being restored in the #Gaza Strip," the company wrote on X, formerly Twitter, while an AFP employee in Gaza City said shortly after 4am (0200 GMT) that he could use the internet and phone network and had contacted people by phone.

"Our technical teams are diligently addressing the damage to the internal network infrastructure under challenging conditions," Paltel added.

The global network monitor Netblocks had earlier said connectivity is being restored.
