How does Internet work in Palestine? (lemmy.ml)

I'm having a hard time looking this up through search engines. No shade at all, but I haven't seen anyone get someone in Palestine to do some traceroutes and understand how genocide data is being routed.

Does anyone know?

I'm trying so hard to claw at the smallest thing I can do to help, is there a person in a network box I can send a bottle wine to so the packets keep flowing?

Back when I was in the Westbank in 2019 they had a separate mobile network than the Israelis. As a Palestinian you could not get a Israeli phone number.

any idea where it came from? do they mostly have Lebanon wireless? or Egypt?

No it was an official Palestinian carrier as far as I remember.

I mean, they've bombed enough that the water table is toxic, Is there still an ISP?
