Phone and internet lines return in Gaza

Phone and internet access is slowly returning into Gaza after a complete blackout for over a day. It comes as Israel intensified its bombardment of the territory, and began a large ground operation involving tanks and troops. On Saturday, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his priorities in Gaza were to destroy Hamas and bring the hostages home.
