The Energy Ministry announces that it has instructed the Energean company to restart operations at its Karish gas platform, off the northern Mediterranean coast.
The larger Leviathan field, also off the northern coast, returned to activity six days ago. Both were closed shortly after the start of the war against Iran. The third processing platform, Tamar, off Israel’s southern coast, remained active throughout.
