The Energy Ministry clarifies that there is no fuel shortage nor is one expected amid the ongoing exchange of fire with Iran.
In a statement, the ministry says it was prepared in advance for the escalation and that there are fuel stockpiles and no fears of running out.
The ministry notes that this is true despite the shutdown earlier this week of the Bazan oil refinery in Haifa after it was hit by a ballistic missile fired by Iran, which killed three people.
And the ministry adds that it is conducting regular situational assessments and that currently it does not foresee any issues with supplying companies with fuel.
