An impact was reported in Haifa during the latest Iranian missile barrage on Israel on Monday, with initial indications pointing to a strike or falling debris in the city’s industrial zone.
According to emerging reports, the impact area included or was near sensitive infrastructure at the Bazan oil refinery, which has been targeted in previous attacks.
In earlier barrages, missile shrapnel struck the facility, causing localized damage and temporary power disruptions, though no casualties were reported.
"Search and rescue forces, both reserve and regular forces, are on their way to a site in northern Israel where reports of impact have been received," the IDF said in a statement.
The Environmental Protection Ministry told Ma'ariv that a gasoline tank is burning in the refinery complex, producing thick smoke, but with no risk to the population in the area from a hazardous materials incident.
The Haifa municipality later confirmed that there was no suspicion of hazardous materials in the area, and no danger to the public.
Residents near the complex were asked to close windows in their homes and not stay outside.
