Israeli mobile companies are urgently racing to finalize upgrades that will extend service duration during prolonged outages in the event of a regional war breaking out, Ynet reported.

This comes amid Israeli media reports that Israeli occupation ministers have already been provided with satellite phones hoping to guarantee continuous operational capability.

With occupation government ministers equipped with satellite phones and bracing for a scenario where "Israel's" electricity and phone lines are cut off, Israeli occupation officials have sounded the alarm over the potential of massive disruptions to critical infrastructure.

This comes in light of the anticipated Iranian retaliation, which could potentially snowball into regional war as reported by Israeli media.

Moreover, Israeli settlers, according to Israeli media, risk being cut off from vital cellular communication, and consequently from vital information that could be shared by the Israeli occupation's Home Front command.

Israeli settlers stranded

Meanwhile, several foreign airlines have suspended flights to and from "Israel" in anticipation of potential retaliation from Iran and Hezbollah. This has left tens of thousands of Israeli settlers stranded abroad, primarily in Europe and the United States, The New York Times reported, citing an Israeli official who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to discuss the matter, which proves the sensitivity of the situation.

These factors have led to a heightened perception that "Israel" is no longer in control of its own fate and lacks a clear strategy to resolve the numerous crises it forced itself into.
