Rights Group: Israel Aims to Destroy Gaza's Communications Infrastructure
STATEMENT: A human rights organization is warning that Israel is deliberately targeting Gaza’s communications infrastructure to deepen its policy of urban erasure, isolate civilians, and force them to flee.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has issued a warning about an impending cutoff of communication and internet networks in Gaza due to the ongoing Israeli bombardment of residential towers.
According to the group, targeting high-rise buildings in Gaza poses a direct threat to the telecommunications sector because local companies have installed crucial technical equipment on the roofs of these buildings.
The organization stated that Israel is seeking to destroy what remains of the communications and internet infrastructure to impose total isolation on civilians, thereby compelling them to forcibly displace.
The rights group added that cutting off communications also seriously hinders the work of medical and aid teams.
