An Iranian missile strike hit Israel's Oil Refineries in Haifa late Thursday but resulted in only minor damage, according to Israel's Energy Ministry. Despite brief disruptions, power was quickly restored.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for targeting the Haifa and Ashdod refineries, alongside security and military support centres as part of a tactical offensive. However, no substantial damage to critical infrastructure was reported.

Debris from intercepted missiles, initially raising hazardous material concerns, posed no environmental threats, confirmed monitoring teams. While past incidents were more severe, this latest event caused no casualties and posed negligible risks.
