Israel says Haifa oil refinery hit in Iranian missile attack

"Energy Minister Eli Cohen said power was briefly disrupted as a result of the attack on the Oil Refineries Ltd facility before being restored for most customers. The damage to the power grid in the north is localised and not significant, Cohen said. Also, in the barrage towards the north, there was no significant damage to Israeli infrastructure sites."

"Iran has carried out a wave of missile and drone strikes across the Middle East since Israel and the United States launched a war against the country late last month. This week, Tehran targeted several oil and gas facilities in the Gulf region in response to an Israeli attack on its South Pars offshore gasfield on Wednesday."

"Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Thursday that his country would show ZERO restraint if its infrastructure is struck again, as the Israeli attack on the South Pars gasfield continued to spur condemnation."

Iran conducted missile and drone strikes across the Middle East, targeting Israeli oil and gas facilities in response to Israeli attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure. An Iranian missile struck the Oil Refineries Ltd facility in Haifa, causing brief power disruptions that were quickly restored. Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen reported no significant damage to the refinery or northern power grid. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned of zero restraint if Iranian infrastructure faces further strikes. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps confirmed firing missiles toward Haifa and Ashdod. Additionally, a rocket attack in northern Israel wounded four people. These escalations reflect ongoing regional tensions over energy infrastructure targeting.
