The Energy Ministry announces that operations at the Leviathan natural gas field, located off Israel’s northern coast, will resume after being shuttered at the start of the Israel-US war with Iran.
The Tamar platform, off the southern coast, has been functioning since the start of the war on February 28.
The floating Karish platform remains inactive.
