This phone call is from a journalist stationed at a Gaza hospital. He is able to make a call because of data roaming on Turkish SIM card. Translation:
โWeโre in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. We have no idea whatโs happening. Thereโs no connection, no Wi-Fi, no reporters. Weโre cut off from everything.. People canโt call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner. The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows whatโs going on. You canโt reach anyone, even if theyโre only 500 meters away. Ambulances and medics are begging reporters to let them know which streets are getting bombarded to go rescue the victims but the reporters themselves donโt know where anything is happening [because of the connection loss]. We are trying to report the news but we have no idea whatโs happening.โ
In the past 20 minutes, Palestinian and Israeli media are reporting that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) has launched what appears to be the most violent and massive air campaign against targets inside the Gaza Strip.
According to the Palestinians, this is the heaviest and unprecedented attack by Israeli warplanes since hostilities began earlier this month.
Local media reports a complete disruption of communication and internet systems throughout the Palestinian territory.
All regions of the Gaza Strip are now under airstrikes, as the sound of massive explosions was heard everywhere.
