Internet traffic patterns in Israel and Palestine following the October 2023 attacks
Blog post from Cloudflare
On 7th October, 2023, Hamas launched attacks from the Gaza Strip against the south of Israel, initiating a new conflict in the region. Internet traffic was impacted with two networks in the Gaza Strip going offline after the attacks, and two more experiencing outages on October 9. Following these events, there was a surge in general internet traffic in both Israel (~170% growth) and Palestine (100% growth). However, this growth in Palestine was followed by a clear drop in traffic around 08:00 UTC (11:00 local time), possibly due to power outages. Furthermore, there were noticeable increases in cyberattacks targeting Israel, including a DDoS attack with 1.26 billion HTTP requests.
