Explosions, Fires, Prolonged Blackouts Paralyze Israeli Cities amid Infrastructure Breakdown
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Widespread power outages, fires, and equipment explosions have plunged the Israeli occupied cities of Rahat, Ramla, and Lod into darkness, triggering public outrage and exposing the deep fragility of the occupying regime’s infrastructure.
Local media outlets reported growing protests by residents in Rahat, Ramla, and Lod as repeated power failures and electrical fires disrupted daily life.
The power outages, often lasting several hours, come amid soaring summer temperatures, leading to cases of heatstroke and hospitalizations.
Residents condemned the regime’s inability to provide basic services, highlighting the deteriorating state of critical infrastructure under Tel Aviv’s administration.
"The situation in Lod is unbearable; constant blackouts and voltage spikes are destroying our appliances, and the electricity company is powerless to fix anything. It feels like living in a city with no infrastructure or solutions for its people," a settler wrote on social media:
A video circulating online shows an electrical technician standing next to a transformer and scorched high-voltage fuses, explaining: "Due to severe and unexplained voltage fluctuations from the main grid, electricity is available for just three to four hours a day. Every two hours, fuses and some transformers explode. The explosions are terrifying locals, and power transmission has been severely disrupted."
The failure underscores a growing crisis in the regime’s internal stability, where even essential services are unraveling under pressure.
This comes as part of a broader pattern of systemic decay in the occupying entity’s urban management and public infrastructure.
