“The Israeli security authorities approved the provision of Starlink services at the UAE’s field hospital operating in Rafah,” the Communications Ministry said in a statement.
“Starlink low-latency, high-speed connections will enable video conferencing with other hospitals and real-time remote diagnostics,” it said.
The Communications Ministry also said that Starlink will be enabled in Israel for the first time.
“The use of the company’s services will be limited at first with broader use expected in the future.”
Musk said in a posting on his social media platform X that he greatly appreciated Israel’s move.
More than 28,000 people have been killed and 68,000 injured in Gaza during Israel’s military campaign against the militant group Hamas.
