Is it in the whole neighborhood? Does anyone else have no electricity? Has anyone got the power back yet?

These were messages I received in the neighborhood WhatsApp group. At the beginning of June, the electricity went out in many places in Israel for a few hours. We had a situation called a power outage. Like, we don't have electricity in our houses. And it happened in the middle of a heat wave of more than 40 degrees Celsius. People were left without electricity, air conditioning, a refrigerator, and with very, very heavy heat. Why did it happen, and why will it continue if we don't start saving electricity now?
