Israeli Occupation Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi condemned US businessman Elon Musk's pledge to allow Starlink’s connectivity to help internationally recognized organizations helping in the Gaza Strip. In response, he announced that the occupation ministry is severing all ties with Starlink.

"Perhaps Musk would be willing to condition it with the release of our abducted babies, sons, daughters, elderly people. All of them! By then, my office will cut any ties with Starlink," Karhi posted on X. 

Israel will use all means at its disposal to fight this.

HAMAS will use it for terrorist activities. There is no doubt about it, we know it, and musk knows it. HAMAS is ISIS.

Perhaps Musk would be willing to condition it with the release of our abducted babies, sons, daughters,… https://t.co/pRNOlnINbZ

This decision came on the heels of Elon Musk’s decision to deploy the Starlink satellite system in the Gaza Strip following pro-Palestine calls for Musk to allow Starlink over Gaza after the occupation isolated the city by cutting off all means of communication.

Although Musk clarified that the move was intended to aid internationally recognized organizations to coordinate their efforts better, considering that they were stalled and even jeopardized, it was met with defiance and insolence from the Israeli government. 

Several regions across the Strip suffered from a complete internet outage, while its largest communications service provider announced that it had shut down all operations across Gaza after Israeli war jets destroyed the company's remaining infrastructure.

"All routes connecting Gaza to the outside world were destroyed" by Israeli strikes, Al Jawwal said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Gaza witnessed the most violent strikes last night since October 7, confirming that attacks are being carried out through air, land, and sea. Our correspondent noted that Central Gaza was being targeted as well after attacks in the previous days were concentrated north of the Strip.

While Israeli warplanes were conducting air strikes, Palestinian Resistance forces unleashed a series of heavy and consecutive rocket launches, targeting the vicinity of "Tel Aviv," "Ashdod," "Ashkelon," and central occupied Palestine.
