Russian intelligence has provided Iran with a detailed list of 55 critical energy infrastructure targets within Israel.
Axar.az informs, citing The Jerusalem Post, that the report, which highlights the deepening military and intelligence cooperation between Moscow and Tehran, suggests that the information that was shared enables Iran to launch precision missile strikes against Israel’s energy grid.
According to the findings, the targeted sites are divided into three categories based on their strategic importance:
Critical production facilities
These are sites whose destruction would cripple the national energy system. The report specifically names the Orot Rabin power station as a primary target.
Major urban and industrial energy hubs
These facilities are located primarily in central Israel and serve large population centers.
Local infrastructure
These targets include regional substations that support industrial zones and smaller power plants.
The Russian assessment regarding Israel’s vulnerability is that “unlike many European nations, Israel’s power grid is characterized by a high degree of isolation”.
Because Israel is an “energy island” that does not import electricity from neighboring countries, Russian intelligence reportedly told Iran that damaging even a few central components could trigger a total and prolonged energy collapse, leading to mass blackouts and technical failures that could not be easily mitigated.
