Internet down in Gaza after attack on fibre optic cable, PA says

The Palestinian Authority on Thursday said internet and fixed-line communication services were down in Gaza following an attack on the territory's last fibre optic cable, AFP is reporting. 

"All internet and fixed-line communication services in the Gaza Strip have been cut off following the targeting of the last remaining main fibre optic line in Gaza," the PA's telecommunications ministry said in a statement, accusing Israel of attempting to cut off Gaza from the world.
