Israeli media reported that an oil refinery in the northern port city of Haifa was hit on Thursday, after the military warned of incoming missiles launched from Iran.
Israel’s Kan 11 public broadcaster aired images on television showing a thick plume of dark smoke rising from the area of the refinery. In a post on X, Kan reported that there were no concerns that hazardous materials had leaked.
The spokesperson for the environmental protection ministry said its director general and emergency response units from the Haifa district were on their way to a scene “following a report regarding the fall of interceptor debris in the Haifa region and a suspected incident involving hazardous materials”.
