Iranian attack hits Israeli oil refinery in Haifa, some damage reported
The Iranian missile strike caused brief power outages and localized damage at Israel's largest refinery, which supplies up to 60% of the country's fuel, officials said.
- On Thursday, an Iranian missile struck the Bazan oil refineries in Haifa Bay, igniting fires and prompting a hazardous‑materials assessment with visible smoke above the complex.
- Following Israel's strike on the South Pars gas field, Tehran said it launched retaliatory strikes; the Haifa attack is part of a wider wave amid the US‑Israeli war on Iran.
- Wave 65 Qadr ballistic missiles were used, reportedly via the Nasrallah delivery system, and interceptions scattered shrapnel across multiple impact sites including power lines and residential areas.
- Energy Minister Eli Cohen said the grid damage was localized and teams were working to reconnect remaining areas; Israel Electric Corporation restored most power and Magen David Adom reported no serious injuries.
- With Hezbollah active in the north, the Haifa oil refinery strike highlights broader escalation risks as the war in the Middle East enters its 21st day, threatening nearly 50 to 60 per cent of Israel's fuel supply.
