JENIN August 29. 2024 (Saba) - The Palestinian telecommunications companies and "Ooredoo" on Thursday declared the disconnection of communications and the internet from the Jenin governorate due to the continuous Zionist aggression for the second day in a row.
In two separate statements, the two companies reported that the main and backup feeder routes of the telecommunications network in Jenin were damaged following the extensive destruction of infrastructure by the enemy.
They pointed out that technical crews have been trying since yesterday to reach the affected areas, but the field conditions prevent this.
In the same context, the Central Operations Room at the Red Crescent confirmed the loss of communication with the Jenin ambulance center and its entire staff as a result of the interruption of the cellular network, as well as the landline and the internet, in addition to the interruption of radio transmitters as well.
For his part, the director of the Jenin government hospital, Wissam Bakr, said: "We are afraid that something will happen as a result of the jamming and internet outages that the hospital environment is exposed to.
It is worth mentioning that the enemy forces cut off communications and the internet several times from the Gaza Strip in conjunction with an escalation in the aggression on the ground.
In turn, the Monetary Authority announced the disruption of banking services in the branches of some banks in Jenin governorate due to the destruction by enemy forces of the Viber lines providing internet services.
She pointed out that the affected bank branches will resume providing banking services to the public as soon as the companies providing Viber lines are repaired and internet service returns.
On the second day of the aggression against Jenin and its camp, the death toll rose to eight, the injuries to seven, including a serious condition, and a number of detainees, while the forces of the Zionist enemy continue to besiege the hospitals of Ibn Sina and the government Martyr Khalil Suleiman.
