Israel’s oil refineries company has confirmed that Iranian missile strikes caused damage to pipelines and oil transport lines in Haifa. Despite the damage, key refinery operations continue with some disruptions.
According to Reuters, the company said the missile attacks affected vital pipelines and delivery systems. However, the main refining facilities are still functioning, though some downstream operations have been temporarily halted.
Iranian news agency Mehr reported that Israel’s army radio also confirmed the damage to the Haifa refinery infrastructure. The attacks caused significant harm, but the core refining process is ongoing on a limited scale.
Iran announced the previous night that it targeted the Haifa refinery and other sites in response to Israeli aggression. Tehran described these strikes as legitimate defensive actions aimed at damaging Israel’s military and economic facilities.
This escalation highlights the growing conflict between the two nations, with both sides targeting critical infrastructure in retaliation. The situation remains tense as each side vows to continue its military actions.
Experts warn that damage to energy facilities could impact fuel supplies and increase regional instability if the attacks persist. Meanwhile, Israel is working to restore full operations at the damaged refinery as quickly as possible.
