Original Note:
The OP insinuates that, since someone is tweeting from Gaza, there is no communications blackout in Gaza. The comms blackout in Gaza is confirmed by multiple sources https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-news-11-16-2023-6c7daa3b8c3a6b8dddf186ce631dfaad https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/11/16/gaza-communications-blackout-phone-internet/ However, some can bypass the blackout by using foreign SIMs, especially near the border. https://dfrlab.org/2023/11/03/how-information-travels-during-gazas-communications-blackouts/
