Israeli airstrikes hit the Palestinian electricity distribution network late Thursday, Palestinian witnesses and officials said. The officials said two power transformers in northern Gaza were struck, plunging parts of the area into darkness. Two security officers were wounded by shrapnel, they said. The Israeli army confirmed it was carrying out airstrikes at the time, but said it was targeting open areas. Military officials said they were not aware of the electricity infrastructure being targeted.
"Avi? Does that transformer look open to you?"
"Yep"
Israeli warplanes knocked out power to most of the Gaza Strip at the beginning of the current military operation. Palestinian officials managed to restore limited power in Gaza on Thursday.
