Amid air strikes, Gaza’s internet hangs by a thread

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:48:00 GMT

In Gaza, 2.3 million people are increasingly struggling to reach the outside world.Israeli retaliatory airstrikes against Hamas damaged the telecommunications infrastructure in Gaza and the ensuing blockade has strangled the energy supply that powers what’s left of the networks. “In some areas, there is no phone connection at all,” Basel Alsourani, a Gaza City-based international advocacy officer for the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, told POLITICO between two outages. “We don’t communicate,” he said, adding that news was now traveling by word of mouth. As of Monday, the connectivity in the enclave had dramatically dropped to 58 percent — from an average of 97 percent until the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 — according to the internet-monitoring firm NetBlocks.Last week, an Israeli bombing campaign targeted network installations and took out two of the three main lines for mobile communications that connect Gaza to the outside, accordi...

Patriots-Raiders film review: Mac Jones’ offense proving beyond repair despite improvement

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:48:00 GMT

Until 1:47 hung on the game clock Sunday, only two teams in the NFL had yet to score 20 points in a single game.Both were playing in Las Vegas.The Patriots had the ball, but it was the Raiders who were about to end their drought.You’ll remember Las Vegas dropped Mac Jones in the end zone for a game-sealing safety and won 21-17; a microcosm of this miserable Pats season.In sacking Jones, the Raiders beat left guard Antonio Mafi and center David Andrews with the same pass-rushing stunt that produced a sack in the first quarter. Simultaneously, Las Vegas defensive end Maxx Crosby tallied the 18th pressure Patriots right tackle Vederian Lowe has allowed this season when he met Raiders Bilal Nichols in the backfield to split credit for the safety.But before Jones went down, 3.2 seconds passed from the time of the snap and the moment he was first hit. In that time, Jones quickly cocked his arm before collapsing on himself. He could have flipped the ball to a scurrying Rhamondre Stev...
