You are watching human beings
being butchered between your brunch and Pilates classes and inane tweets about everything but what is staring you in the face and I pray that the ghosts of the martyrs haunt you for every second of your disgusting shameful lives. You are not our colleagues. You are not our peers, you are not our acquaintances, you are our executioners in your silence.

Birzeit University condemns the brutal assault and bombing of @Al-Israa University campus by the Israeli occupation south of #Gaza city, this occurred after seventy days of the occupation occupying the campus; turning it into their base, and military barracks for their forces

[Doug Madory (also on Bluesky) @DougMadory]

Internet blackout in #Gaza is now into its 7th day.

This is now the longest internet outage ever recorded for Gaza, and longer than previous recent outages combined.

An extended blackout like this compounds the trauma the people in Gaza have endured over the past 3+ months.

Internet service in #Gaza completely down again for the 3rd time in 10 days beginning at 16:15 UTC (6:15pm local).

“We regret to announce the complete shutdown of communications and internet services in Gaza after the Israeli side disconnected the servers,” @Paltelco said.

[Doug Madory (also on Bluesky) @DougMadory]

Georgia Tech's @IODA_live is a valuable tool for monitoring the situation in Gaza from a connectivity perspective.

During the 2014 Gaza War there were outages, but nothing like what we're seeing now.
