An oil refinery in Haifa, northern Israel, was struck by a missile barrage on Monday, resulting in a fire. This is the second attack on the Oil Refineries facility, also known as Bazan, since the beginning of the US-Israeli war on Iran last month. While the origin of the missile is unclear, Iran and its allies, including Hezbollah, have been launching attacks against US and Israeli targets across the Middle East. Firefighters contained the blaze, and no casualties or hazardous material risks were reported. The Bazan Group confirmed the missile attack hit the roof of a distillates tank. The strikes come amid escalating tensions and ongoing conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran.
