Iran's missile attack on power plant in southern Israel disrupts supply

Iran has fired several missiles at Israel in retaliation for the Israeli attacks, after which a missile hit a power plant in southern Israel, which has affected the power supply, and explosions have been heard in several Israeli cities.

According to Al Jazeera, Israeli media said that the Israel Electric Corporation has confirmed that a missile fell near a strategic infrastructure, which has affected the power supply in several towns.

Sirens continued to sound for about 35 minutes during the attack. According to Israeli media, the Israeli people have spent the longest time in shelters today since the beginning of the war against Iran.

The Israeli military said in a statement on X that Iran has fired missiles towards Israel. According to Israeli media, sirens were reported to have sounded in several cities, including Nahariya, Gesher Hazio, Haila, Me'una, and Me'eliya.

According to a Reuters report, a missile was seen flying high above occupied Jerusalem, after which several explosions were heard in the distance.

According to Al Jazeera, Israeli sources say that missiles have been confirmed to have fallen at least four places so far, including one in Ashdod and one south of occupied West Jerusalem.

However, there is no clear information about the nature of these places or what was targeted there, as Israel has strict restrictions on sharing videos or information under military censorship, and violations can be punishable by imprisonment.

For this reason, it is difficult to confirm which installations or areas have been affected and what the nature of the damage is.

Since Israel attacked Iran on June 13, Iran has reportedly fired about 450 ballistic missiles at Israel.

According to Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera, Israel has been severely damaged by Iran's relentless missile attacks over the past 10 days.

Most of the damage has been in central Israel, but the strategically important city of Haifa has also been under constant attack.

In one incident yesterday, a missile hit its target but did not sound a siren. The Israeli military confirmed after an investigation that the missile was Iranian and that no defensive missiles were fired in error.

Due to this ongoing and severe situation, more than 30,000 Israeli citizens have applied for compensation, while several hundred have had to find alternative accommodation.

Local authorities are spending more than $4 million a day to meet these urgent needs.
