Internet services in the West Bank and Gaza have come under "sustained attack" by unknown hackers in multiple locations, according to officials.
"There has been a sustained attack since the morning from many sources in many countries," said Palestinian Authority spokesman Ghassan Khatib. "It is deliberate and continuous."
Computer experts were trying to identify the sources of the attack and the authority would seek assistance from the governments of those countries involved, he said. The attack had interrupted services, causing internet connections to range from "very, very slow to completely stopped".
The authority has no idea who was behind the cyber- attack and the reason for it, Khatib said.
