Power Outage Disrupts Electricity Supply at Jerusalem Government Complex Including Knesset

A power outage affected the Knesset building, the Finance Ministry, and several other structures within the government complex in Jerusalem, the Israel Electric Corporation reported on Thursday afternoon. The outage was caused by damage to a high-voltage power line during construction work carried out by a private contractor in the Knesset area. The damage disrupted the electrical infrastructure and flow in the region. The exact circumstances of the fault and the damage to the network are still under investigation. The Israel Electric Corporation dispatched professional teams to the site to restore power. It is important to note that the 25th Knesset was officially dissolved late Thursday night and is currently in recess, meaning that while staff remain in the building, no legislative activity is taking place.
