Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Kahri has vowed that “Israel will use all means at its disposal to fight” SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s planned provision of Starlink internet access to Gaza.
“Hamas will use it for terrorist activities,” Kahri claimed in a post on X (formerly Twitter), adding that “there is no doubt about it, we know it, and Musk knows it.”
In response, the tech billionaire said he is “not so naive,” explaining how the proposed scheme would work, while promising to “do a security check with both the US and Israeli governments before turning on even a single terminal.”
“Per my post, no Starlink terminal has attempted to connect from Gaza. If one does, we will take extraordinary measures to confirm that it is used *only* for purely humanitarian reasons,” Musk said.
Earlier on Saturday, Musk said that he would open the Starlink satellite network to “internationally recognized aid organizations” working in Gaza, after a wave of Israeli airstrikes severed the enclave’s last phone and internet connections with the outside world.
Internet and cell phone services stopped working in Gaza on Friday night after a wave of Israeli airstrikes. The outage left news organizations and aid groups unable to reach their workers, with the UN children’s agency UNICEF, the World Health Organization, Doctors Without Borders, Red Cross and Red Crescent all reporting no contact from their employees. RT Arabic was also temporarily unable to contact its correspondents and photographers in Gaza.
Musk’s plan would mark the second time that he has deployed Starlink to a combat zone. Shortly after the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, the tech tycoon supplied Kiev with Starlink terminals. However, he fell out of favor when he barred the Ukrainian military from using the network to guide drone strikes on Russian ships in the Black Sea.

The outage left a lot of paying consumers dead in the water.
Whoever snaps up those comms accounts can probably gouge the shit out of them.
Interesting, that those who support the blanket genocide of women & children justify it, with hyper paranoid delusional fear projection, sowing a wide swath of division, hatred, & evil.
Much like the Corona maskholes and injection enforcers who lashed out against those who chose to disagree, disobey, and disregard the narrative push in ’20, ’21, & ’22.
See the pattern?
It seems many are starting to.
Its also interesting how the shaming and doxxing is being applied by one side, upon anyone rejecting the ZOG position, and publicly objecting to the treatment of Palestinian innocents just trying to live a life of opportunity free from the danger of collapsing buildings from blanket bombing, in an attempt to destroy a small percentage of rats scurrying through tunnels below ground.
This will not end well.
Palestinian innocents? YSR. Kind of like political honesty, military intelligence, just another oxymoron.
Anyone who was just an ‘innocent’ person living there would have been killed about ten years ago by the current inhabitants.
Israel needs to tell the world to kiss it’s jew ass and start at the north end, and bulldoze that entire region all the way to the south end, then work on getting rid of Iran once and for all finally.
They probably just want to broadcast porn to the Palestinians like the good old days
How exactly are the Jews going to destroy Starlink? Does Israel have a space program?
They do, but it would be cyber/electronic I assume since there are so many.
That had crossed my mind too, but I have recently seen footage of one of their weapons systems using a laser to destroy incoming missiles.
They do as well have a space program, and as of recently they sent a lander to the moon, though it crashed or failed catastrophically in the last moments of the attempt.
These rabid circumcised dogs need to be put down.
so do the dirty camel fuckers living in a little swatch of land in the middle of the holy land.
You’re a baby fucker.
Israel needs to cease to exist.
So no porn or Facebook in Gaza?
Showing the world that Israel randomly bombs civilians and then pretends they were ‘terrorists’ is not terrorism.
Bomb enough of them and all the terrorists will finally be dead.
if you are hanging out in a declared war zone, you are NOT a civilian anymore.
Let the whole area kill itself off and let the flies feast on the rest.
Maybe the frogs can ship their ally ookburh cancer there to live after the land has been sterilized by radioactive fire.
