Gaza has suffered yet another communications blackout amid Israel's brutal war on the strip.

Service provider Paltel said on Friday that it "regrets to announce that all telecom services" in the Palestinian enclave "have been lost due to the ongoing aggression".

"Gaza is blacked out again," it posted on social media platform X.

Internet watchdog NetBlocks said live metrics show Gaza is experiencing a "near-total internet blackout".

"Telecom services including landline, cellular, and WiFi are likely to be unavailable to most residents at the present time," the monitor posted on X.

The current blackout is the sixth since Israel's war on the strip began.
