Telephone and Internet connections are being restored in the Gaza Strip, the agencies reported early this morning, citing Palestinian media.
Agence France Presse reported that they were able to use the Internet and the telephone network.
Communications in the besieged Gaza Strip were cut late Friday.
About 2.3 million residents of the small Palestinian enclave were cut off from the world amid heavy Israeli ground and air strikes.
International aid was unable to enter the Gaza Strip on Saturday due to the disconnection.
Palestinian Red Crescent spokesman Nabil Farsakh told AP that aid trucks could not enter because communication with the Egyptian Red Crescent and UN staff was not possible, Beta reports.
Before Saturday, 84 trucks had entered Gaza, which is small for the number of residents who lack electricity, food and medical supplies, as well as clean water.
Meanwhile, Israel has entered a new phase of the war against Hamas, expanding its ground attacks.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last night called it a war for Israel’s existence.
Gaza residents said the bombardment from land, air and sea was the heaviest so far in the three-week war.
More than 7,700 people, mostly women and children, have died in Gaza so far. More than 1,400 people were killed in Israel, including at least 310 soldiers, when Hamas extremists suddenly invaded southern Israel, breaching the border fence.
At least 229 hostages were taken to Gaza, and four women have since been freed.
