   - Massive explosions in Gaza due to unprecedented Israeli airstrikes on
   October 27, 2023 (*Palestinian social media account*)

To add to the horrors in Gaza caused by the ongoing Israeli violent
aggression, massive regions in the Strip suffered from complete internet
outage, while its largest communications service provider announced that it
had shut down all operations across Gaza after Israeli war jets destroyed
the company's remaining infrastructure.

"All routes connecting Gaza to the outside world were destroyed" by Israeli
strikes, Al Jawwal said in a statement.

Meanwhile, *Al Mayadeen*'s correspondent reported that today witnessed the
most violent strikes on Gaza since October 7, confirming that attacks are
being carried out through air, land, and sea. Our correspondent noted that
Central Gaza is being targeted as well after attacks in the previous days
were concentrated north of the Strip.

While Israeli warplanes were conducting air strikes, Palestinian Resistance
forces unleashed a series of heavy and consecutive rocket launches,
targeting the vicinity of "Tel Aviv," "Ashdod," "Ashkelon," and central
occupied Palestine.

The Israeli occupation persists in its aggression on the Gaza Strip for the
21st consecutive day, with civilian homes being a frequent target. The
number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip has now surpassed 7,300, while there
are tens of thousands of wounded and missing individuals, as reported by
the Gaza government's media office.

In just the past 24 hours, the Israeli occupation committed 41 massacres,
resulting in 298 martyrs mostly in southern areas which the entity claimed
were "safe". Since the first day of the aggression, Israelis committed a
total of 772 massacres.

Over 30 people were martyred in the latest Israeli occupation airstrikes
across Gaza, *Al Mayadeen*'s correspondent reported, noting that the
Israeli aggression today is the most violent since October 7.

Israeli attacks included Deir al-Balah in central Gaza and the eastern part
of Rafah in the southern region. Other areas attacked include al-Muntar in
al-Shujaiya neighborhood, the Bureij and Nuseirat camps in central Gaza, as
well as the Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City.

Additionally, the Israeli strikes spared no targets, including places of
worship and historic landmarks. The Taiba Mosque, as well as the al-Awda,
al-Nada, and Bisan towers in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, were
directly targeted. There were even threats to bomb the historic Gaza
municipality building, situated in a densely populated neighborhood.

This comes as the healthcare system in Gaza continues to witness increasing
deterioration as the Israeli blockade enters its 20th day. The Palestinian
Health Ministry stated that 104 healthcare workers have been martyred so
far, 25 ambulances were destroyed, and 57 health facilities have gone out
of service.

Hospitals and primary care centers have also been taken out of service,
either through direct targeting or by blocking the entry of vital supplies,
including fuel.

The Israeli aggression extends beyond targeting individuals and healthcare
facilities.

According to the government's media office in Gaza, Israelis are
deliberately striking essential life needs, including commercial
facilities, storage, and food distribution points, exacerbating the
depletion of vital supplies from the markets.

Furthermore, thousands of acres of vegetable crops have been destroyed, and
farmers are prevented from accessing their fields, leaving large areas of
green lands unsuitable for agriculture.

In this dire situation, the government's media office also confirmed that
ten bakeries were destroyed by the Israelis amid the continued prohibition
of entering food supplies into Gaza.
