On September 18, 2025, telecommunications across Gaza were cut off after key network routes were targeted, resulting in a full blackout. At the same time, Israeli tanks moved into the Sheikh Radwan and Tel Al-Hawa neighbourhoods—strategic gateways to central Gaza City—while forces pressed forward in eastern suburbs. In the past 24 hours, at least 79 Palestinians were killed, mostly in Gaza City. Civilians, many displaced and sheltering among ruins, face worsening humanitarian conditions with curtailed aid, limited evacuation options and rising hunger. International concerns mount over escalation and civilian suffering. (PC: Reuters)
