Israel’s military has claimed it has encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two, as Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war.

“Today, there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters on Sunday, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against Hamas.

Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.

But the “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by the Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.

      Watching and hoping them quick success, at least for my part. A prolonged war would be the worst thing for everybody except the terrorists.

        I sometimes wish I could be this disconnected from reality or empathy, or perhaps both. It would likely suck for everyone around me, so, I guess I’ll suffer through.

          Why do you presume to think I have no empathy or that I would be disconnected from reality?

            Aren’t you saying that you wish Israel could hurry up its process of killing 2.2 million people of which half being children?

            What is the limit of this “quick success” you are hoping for?
