‘Near-total internet blackout’ as Israel attacks Gaza’s south
Israel expands offensive in central and southern Gaza where it ordered Palestinians to move ‘for their safety’.

Has there been any news about how Israel's able cut service in Gaza? I assumed at first they were bombing/sabotaging infrastructure but they seem to be able to turn service on and off at will like they're flipping a switch.
Everything is run trough Israel, even water so that's how they can stop it.
But from what I've seen even the service providers don't seem to know how they're doing it.
It's fairly easy to do so. They just simply disconnect it from their side. Either that or they use someckind of EMP but that would also affect their own equipment so I doubt that is they way they are doing it.
And if it's not obvious Israel will never comrfirm how.
I guess? I honestly don't know. I haven't really seen reporting saying that either though.
During the first blackout there was wide speculation that it was bombing, then some shock when Israel just turned service on when the US told them to. Almost nothing since (that I've seen), except to report when a blackout is occurring. I've been curious about it since then.
I could be wrong but I suspect that it'd be in some explainer piece if they just had direct access to the infrastructure. I agree that sabotage with something like an EMP would be too imprecise. I'd speculate that they must have some backdoor into those systems.
They can ping off Egyptian towers.
Who can?
Gazaian
not through jammers hey can't
Have you fantasized all your life or is it a more recent thing.
Do you think that Israel doesn't have technology from the 70s? high gain directional antenna and a noise generator aren't new high-tech super-technology.
the only reason we see distributed EW instead of massive stations is that a more advanced army could field weapons that could threaten these things.
here's a link to the Wikipedia article for you:
I deploy radio networks and have worked in the middle east.
I am not going to explain to you why that is a worthless, bad and stupid idea.
I will however tell you that the Israelis know what is coming off those towers and are gathering intelligence. It's better that they are active than not. Gaza's network, however, has failed.
wait, so your argument is... that the IDF wants to spy on Hamas? AFTER the argument was that people in Gaza would ping the cel-towers in Egypt because Israel is blocking the service from their side. after it has been clearly stated that Gaza has no local network outside a bunch of people with short range radios.
you want a reason why the IDF would try and block transmissions? because every picture that get's out of the children they blow up is harming their reputation and souring the world on their little genocide (and yes, what they are doing is defined as genocide), an analysis that correlates with the IDF targeting not just the few physical telephony connections, but also journalists not embedded with the IDF
