GAZA CITY - Israeli airstrikes on Monday destroyed large parts of the Al-Rimal neighbourhood in Gaza City, leading to large internet and communications outages.

Israeli warplanes destroyed a number of buildings, including residential ones, flattening them to the ground, said an Anadolu correspondent.

The reporter said the fighter jets destroyed a Palestinian Telecommunications Company building, causing a widespread outage of communications and the internet.

The raids also caused extensive damage to homes and property and caused great panic among them, with power outages hitting large areas.

Al-Shifa Medical Complex was also damaged in the airstrikes.

The recent clashes in Palestine involving Hamas, the ruling authority in Gaza, and the Israeli regime have resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives on both sides since Saturday, Oct 7. - BERNAMA-ANADOLU
