Thousands Plunged Into Darkness: Israel Grapples with Power Outages After Morning Missile Barrage
Thousands of Israelis are currently without electricity following a series of missile strikes launched by Iran earlier this morning. Approximately 8,000 residents are affected by the widespread power outages, primarily in southern communities.
Israel’s Energy Minister, Eli Cohen, confirmed the disruptions, stating that authorities had anticipated potential damage to vital electrical infrastructure and had prepared contingency plans. Cohen expressed optimism that power would be restored to all affected areas within the next three hours.
The Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) had previously reported significant damage near a strategic infrastructure facility in the southern region, which directly led to the extensive power cuts. In response, IEC teams have been rapidly deployed to multiple locations across the affected areas.
Their immediate priorities include conducting urgent infrastructure repairs and neutralizing any lingering safety hazards. These critical operations are being executed in close coordination with Israeli security forces to ensure the swift and safe restoration of power to all impacted communities.
