Israel’s military has claimed it has encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two, as Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war.

“Today, there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters on Sunday, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against Hamas.

Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.

But the “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by the Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.

    “As a libertarian” is not the way to start an opinion if you want to be taken seriously.

      Wow, another good one. You people are amazing.

      Some people openly call themselves marxist-leninists in here too so I thought I’d join their “never take what these guys say seriously” club.

        If we had a forced and honest age & intellect number by each username, the numbers you’d most commonly see are 13-23 and 80-110.

        Don’t worry, you’re talking with teenagers and college freshmen that know everything on every topic. They can’t name 3 aspects of an ideology they claim to represent but that’s besides the point. ChatGPT will hallocunate it for them so we can get even more chuckles.
