Iranian missiles reportedly struck Israel’s major energy site in Haifa on Monday. The area saw flames and heavy smoke rising. Emergency crews responded at the scene, according to reports and video circulated on social media. Israeli authorities did not immediately confirm the full extent of the damage. Some claims about the impact also remained unverified.
The strike was described as the second hit this month on the same refinery and power-related site in Haifa. Earlier reports indicated that Iran had already targeted the facility on March 19 in response to strikes on its own energy infrastructure.
Footage shared on social media appeared to show flames and heavy smoke rising near a hit tanker while fire crews worked at the scene. The extent of the site’s damage and the status of operations remained unclear.
Claims circulating online said the destruction of the 828-megawatt plant had left half of Israel without power. That figure could not be independently confirmed based on the material provided.
Reports also said shares linked to Haifa Port oil refinery operations fell 4% after the latest strike. No immediate official market statement was included in the source material provided.
The latest reported impact came as Iran and Israel continued exchanging strikes, with damage mounting on both sides. Reports further said Israel’s air defenses remained active, though the latest hit suggested some missiles were still getting through. Cleanup operations were ongoing.
