Damage was reportedly caused to a power plant in Haifa and in central Israel by an Iranian overnight and early morning attack, the Jerusalem Post newspaper reported on Monday.
Fires were observed at the power plant in the vicinity of Israel’s Haifa port, after Iranian forces launched a ballistic missile attack on port infrastructure amid escalations with Israel.
The Israel Electric Corporation confirmed that Iran caused damage to the central power grid but insisted “Teams are working on the ground to neutralize safety hazards, in particular the risk of electrocution due to torn electrical wires,” the Israel Electric Corporation said.
“At the same time, work is being carried out to repair the infrastructure and restore the electricity supply,” it added.
