☆ Gaza communications blackout, the longest of the war, hits one-week mark
  + stars: | 2024-01-18 | by ( Mick Krever | Sana Noor Haq | Eyad Kourdi | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
CNN —A near-total communications blackout in Gaza, the longest of the war, has now lasted one week with no signs of abating, preventing humanitarian and emergency services from operating effectively in the territory. Israel has in the past faced accusations of deliberately severing Gaza’s communications – charges on which it has not commented. The IDF told CNN that it was aware of the allegation, and that the incident was under review. This is where it becomes dangerous.”Al Rozzi, who is executive director of the National Society for Rehabilitation, told CNN that he struggles to get even a trickle of a connection. A senior American official has in the past told CNN that the U.S. applied pressure on Israel to restore connectivity in Gaza when it was severed.

“Essentially today there is a northern Gaza and a southern Gaza,” Admiral Hagari said. Earlier in the day, the Israeli military had accused Hamas of using two hospitals in northern Gaza, Sheikh Hamad and Indonesian hospitals, as cover for its operational centers. The Israeli military had earlier made similar accusations about Al Shifa Hospital, in Gaza City, and on Friday the Israeli military confirmed an airstrike near that facility. The communications blackout hit Gaza after sunset, around 6:20 p.m. local time, according to NetBlocks, an internet monitoring service. The first blackout on Oct. 27, which began around sunset, lasted nearly 36 hours and spread fear and panic across Gaza as Israel began a ground invasion.

☆ Third Communications Blackout Hits Gaza
  + stars: | 2023-11-05 | by ( Anushka Patil | More About Anushka Patil | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Gaza was plunged into a communications blackout on Sunday for the third time in 10 days, again leaving its people without access to internet or phone services as night fell and Israel’s heavy bombardment of the enclave continued. The widespread blackout began shortly before sunset, around 4:20 p.m. local time, according to NetBlocks, an internet monitoring service. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said on social media that the blackout affected more than two million civilians, cutting off access to emergency medical services as the bombings continued, and that, as during the previous blackouts, it had lost contact with its teams in Gaza. UNRWA, the U.N. agency that aids Palestinians, also said it was unable to reach “the vast majority” of its team in the enclave. “Without connectivity, people who need immediate medical attention cannot contact hospitals and ambulances,” he said on social media.

☆ Dozens of Severely Wounded, and Dual Nationals, Allowed to Flee Gaza as War Rages On

The Hamas-run government said airstrikes killed and wounded many people, but the exact toll was not yet known. The toll from Tuesday's strikes was also unknown, though the director of a nearby hospital said hundreds were killed or wounded. Dozens of people could be seen entering the Rafah crossing — the only one currently operating — and ambulances carrying wounded Palestinians exited on the Egyptian side. Egypt had earlier said that more than 80 Palestinians — out of many thousands wounded in the war — would also be brought in for treatment. Over 1,400 people have died on the Israeli side, mainly civilians killed during Hamas’ initial attack, also an unprecedented figure.

A video circulating online that purports to show an Emergency Alert System broadcast warning of an emergency at a New Mexico research facility is fabricated, a spokesperson for the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security said. A spokesperson for the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management said in an email that no such broadcast was made. No such statement was released via the New Mexico government official website (www.nm.gov/news/) nor through the New Mexico Department of Public Safety site (here). There is no evidence that a “Black Mesa” research facility exists in New Mexico. No such broadcast was aired, a spokesperson for the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management said.

☆ The new normal on Twitter: watching it break

When he would check his notifications tab on Twitter, Sinker, who has tens of thousands of followers, often saw the platform recommend the same weeks-old tweet from another user. Probably, but it becomes a less sure thing with each bit that falls off,” Sinker, a writer who has been on Twitter since 2007, told CNN. But in trying to cut his way to profitability, Musk risks making Twitter a less viable service. Weeks earlier, Twitter users encountered other various issues with the platform, including the inability to tweet, send direct messages or follow new accounts. After some publications pointed out the sudden surge in Musk posts in users’ feeds last month, the Twitter CEO responded: “Please stay tuned while we make adjustments.”
☆ Twitter links inaccessible in outage impacting thousands

March 6 (Reuters) - Thousands of Twitter users on Monday reported problems with accessing links from the Elon Musk-headed social media platform and other websites, an issue the company said it was working to resolve. We're working on this now and will share an update when it's fixed," Twitter said. loadingThere were more than 8,000 incidents of people reporting issues with the social media platform, according to Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from a number of sources including user-submitted errors on its platform. "This suggests Twitter has not been effectively testing its updates before pushing them to the public."

☆ Iran’s sweeping internet blackouts are a serious cause for concern

CNN Business —When Iranian authorities pulled the plug on the internet in 2019 amid anti-government protests, the international community struggled to track the civilian carnage that followed. “Everything is a lie.”Mobile networks have been largely shut down, according to internet watchdog Netblocks. While it is not the total internet shutdown of 2019, tech experts say they are seeing a similar pattern. While the current internet blackout is “not as severe as November 2019,” Madory said, there are concerns it could eventually be. Despite the fear gripping his homeland right now amid the protests and internet blackouts, Rashidi does see reason for hope.
