In northern Gaza, Jabalia and Beit Hanoun witnessed heavy Israeli shelling and strikes throughout the night between Friday and Saturday. Attacks targeting both districts have been ongoing for most part of the week.
After 8 consecutive days of outage, Palestinian Telecommunications Company "Paltel" announced the gradual return of communication services to various areas in the Gaza Strip.
The firm stated that its technical teams have been working in recent days to repair many major disruptions caused by the ongoing Israeli aggression.
Persistent communication blackouts continue to hinder the work of emergency workers, who are already working with limited resources.
Around 80% of communications infrastructures have been deliberately destroyed by the Israeli military since October 7, while technical cadres working in the field have also been repeatedly attacked while carrying out their mission.
