On October 27, Israel announced the start of a ground operation against militants in the Gaza Strip. After this, the Palestinian telecommunications company Jawwal announced a shutdown of mobile communications and the Internet. Minister of Communications of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) Yitzhak Sadr reported that the department is negotiating with the satellite company Starlink to restore communications in the Gaza Strip. It was reported that Palestine is also discussing with Egypt the possibility of facilitating the transport of Starlink through the Rafah checkpoint.
According to the Hamas group, the Israeli military during its attack fell into “ambushes prepared by the Palestinian resistance.” The IDF ground operation failed, Ali Baraka, a member of the leadership of the Palestinian Hamas movement abroad, told Al Mayadeen television.
On October 28, the Israeli army reported that it had struck 150 underground targets in the Gaza Strip overnight. The military described the raid as an “extended ground operation” rather than a full-scale ground offensive.
At the end of February 2022, Musk announced the start of Starlink operation in Ukraine; Ukrainian officials had previously approached him with a corresponding request. The network is designed to provide broadband Internet access.
