Hezbollah ‘could wipe out Israel’s electric power grid,’ US aid agency responds with emergency generators

A full-blown war is looming between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group based in Lebanon — and Israel fears a potentially devastating “electromagnetic pulse” (EMP) attack on its crucial electric power grid. 

An all-out attack on Israel’s power grid will cause rolling blackouts and could even cripple entire towns and cities in just 72 hours. https://www.timesofisrael.com/as-war-with-hezbollah-looms-concerns-over-vulnerability-of-power-grid-generate-unease/

U.S.-headquartered humanitarian aid agency Joseph Project International (JPI) is gearing up now to supply emergency generators where they’re most needed to keep essential services operating.

“Joseph Project International has the infrastructure already in place in Israel, including our 16,000 square foot warehouse,” said the organization’s founder Joel Chernoff. “We also act as a vital logistical hub for other aid organizations.”

Joseph Project International — the largest importer of humanitarian aid into Israel — responded within hours to help traumatized children in the Druze community of Majdal Shams in the aftermath of the horrific Hezbollah rocket attack on July 27 that killed 12 children. 

JPI supplied art therapy kits for professional counselors working with children and families at the scene of the national tragedy. https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-majdal-shams-neighbors-embrace-druze-mourning-children-killed-in-rocket-attack/

“Hezbollah has caused so much suffering in the north of Israel,” said Joseph Project International’s Suzie Salway, based near Jerusalem. “Homes and villages have been burned to the ground, with only charred remains of what was beautiful vineyard-growing country. It’s like California’s Napa Valley has been set on fire.”
