One of the best wartime strategies is to cut off the enemies methods of communication.
Anyone know if Hamas has radio?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

presumably. just with a simple transmitter you can still broadcast 5+ miles, though I'd think their tunnels would have hardwired com lines run
Okay, so they're just hindering the civilian populace with this, got it.
Journalist. They are actively hindering reporting on the ground so they can control the media. They also killed the family of a head journalist from al jazeera, and also killed reuter's journalist.
Source for the Reuters, I missed that one.
Yes. The IDF sends them the location for the next hospital to launch their missiles from, that get promptly shut down by the iron dome. Then they get to claim they're the good guys and warn the evacuation and turn that hospital to the ground to displace more people.
More likely a temporary measure while they move forces through areas they suspect have IEDs planted. Disabling the mobile networks will prevent them from using cellphones for remote detonation - a common Hamas method of detonating suicide bombers and IEDs.
Chances are once they've finished maneuvers they'll dig in to new positions, mark off IEDs they do find, and restore service.
That's acually not a bad idea.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Gaza was plunged into a communications blackout on Sunday for the third time in 10 days, again leaving its people without access to internet or phone services as night fell and Israel’s heavy bombardment of the enclave continued.
The widespread blackout began shortly before sunset, around 4:20 p.m. local time, according to NetBlocks, an internet monitoring service.
The director general of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said it was “very concerned” about the outage and reports of heavy bombardment in the enclave.
The blackout was confirmed on Sunday by Gaza’s main telecommunications provider, Paltel, which said that the “complete interruption of all communications and Internet services” was because of a cutoff “by the Israeli side.”
The director of NetBlocks, Alp Toker, said in an interview on Sunday that his organization was unable to immediately determine whether the blackout had been caused by Israel taking technical measures or by physical damage to Gaza’s telecommunications infrastructure.
After the first blackout, two American officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said the United States believed that Israel was responsible for the cutoff of communications and that they had urged Israeli counterparts to do what they could to restore service.
