A widespread power outage struck the Brachfeld neighborhood of Modiin Illit on Friday evening, leaving thousands of residents without electricity, air conditioning, or hot meals amid intense summer heat. The incident is part of a recurring problem, according to MK Avi Maoz, chairman of the Noam party, who has called for urgent intervention.

Maoz sent a letter to Israel Electric Corporation CEO Meir Shpigler demanding a thorough investigation into the causes of the outages and immediate solutions. He emphasized that this is not an isolated event but a frequent issue causing significant hardship for residents, especially during hot weather. The letter was also copied to Energy Minister Eli Cohen.

Maoz highlighted residents' frustration, noting their perception that Modiin Illit does not receive the same prompt response to power failures as larger cities like Tel Aviv or Herzliya. He urged Shpigler to personally oversee resolving the problem, stating that the community should not continue to suffer repeated outages without a lasting fix.
