Israel is strengthening its defense infrastructure in the face of Iranian threats

Faced with the increased risk of attacks by Iran or its proxies in the region, Israel is diversifying and strengthening its electricity supplies. Faced with the increased risk of attacks by Iran or its proxies in the region, Israel is diversifying and strengthening its electricity supplies. Maintaining a stable supply of electricity is particularly important for the economy, which is so dependent on technology that the country has earned the nickname "startup nation".

If signs of panic are rare (the country has already withstood a barrage of Iranian missiles and drones in April and has suffered regular attacks from its proxies in the north and south for months), the authorities are preparing for the worst , especially keeping alternatives. fuel for power plants in case the regular supply is interrupted.

"We bought endless amounts," said Tamar Fekler, vice president of operations, logistics and security at Israel Electricity Corporation, the country's largest electricity supplier. Since October 1st, After the surprise attack by Hamas, an Iranian-backed terrorist group considered a terrorist organization by the United States, CIS built on-site defenses at its power plants, Fekler said.

Offshore gas platforms are vulnerable to attacks by Hezbollah, a Lebanese militia also backed by Iran and also considered a terrorist group by the United States. In the event of an all-out war in the north, Israel would decide to shut down the platforms on a case-by-case basis, making a complete rapid shutdown impossible, an Israeli official familiar with the matter said.

That prompted authorities to install backup diesel generators or lithium batteries in more than half of the cell towers in northern Israel, including the port city of Haifa. In the commercial capital Tel Aviv, dozens of poles were brought into the generators of nearby businesses or municipal structures.
