Israel-Gaza War, Hezbollah
Energy Minister Eli Cohen: If Israel has a blackout for hours, Lebanon will have one for months
Cohen reassured the public in a statement that the odds of a days-long electricity collapse are low due to multiple fortification efforts.
In the face of Hezbollah saber-rattling and warnings from senior electricity managers that Israel faces a potential catastrophic blackout in a war with Hezbollah, Energy Minister Eli Cohen released a statement today (Thursday), reassuring the public that the odds of such a scenario are "low."
Cohen emphasized that Israel has a large and diversified stockpile of energy reserves, as well as various efforts to fortify and protect electricity production and supply.
That said, he warned: "It's important for me to clarify to our enemies: If Israel has a blackout of hours, Lebanon will have a blackout of months."
