During the IDF raid and fighting that captured and killed members of the Hamas terror cell that murdered Rabbi Miki Mark of Otniel, a high power line near the village of Tzurif was damaged.
This power line supplies electricity to the Gush Etzion area, and specifically to the regional water pumps.
As a result, the Gush Etzion and Efrat water tanks are very low on Wednesday morning, and residents have been asked to minimize water usage until the electric company can fix the line.
UPDATE: The electric line was fixed around 7:45 AM, and the regional water tank are now being refilled.
