"In order to prepare for a few days of upheaval in the country without, for example, the possibility of a war in the north, the Authority instructed the government ministries to prepare for the possibility of severe damage to the infrastructure and a nationwide plan that at least 60% of the population will be cut off from electricity for a period of 24 to 48 hours, while in some areas this may also last for 72 hours".
However, the government offices have not yet begun to make the relevant adjustments.
