It is normal to disrupt and jam all communication ahead of an invasion.

IEDs, tactical comms etc.

Makes it harder for news to spread, documenting warcrimes and genocide, etc

I know, but this would happen whether war crimes were intended or not.

Can nobody here think like a military just for one second and understand that they don't care about spread of information? That information will be leaked after the blackouts are over, nothing can change that. That blackout is purely so that Hamas would lose their communication capabilities. It's a classic proven war tactic and a totally legit one.
