Employees of the Israel Electric Company were out in the field Wednesday to repair the damage to company equipment caused by a rocket attack fired by Gaza terrorists.
Three power lines were cut off due to the damage caused by a rocket attack fired at Israel from the enclave by Hamas terrorists on Tuesday.
“Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists destroy Palestinians’ lives in Gaza,” pointed out Ofir Gendelman, the Arabic-language spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The point was reinforced in a Facebook post written to Gaza citizens in Arabic by IDF Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Major-General Kamil Abu Rokon. “The massive firing during the day of the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization, under the auspices of the Hamas terrorist organization, damaged the electricity infrastructure and caused a malfunction in the electricity supply to your homes during the blessed month of Ramadan,” Abu Rokon wrote.
“Residents of the Gaza Strip, it is time to wake up and understand that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are using you as hostages and continue their repeated attempts to escalate the situation at your expense, when you are the ones most hurt,” he added.
