Sue Surkes is The Times of Israel's environment reporter
Pipelines and transmission lines between facilities in the Bazan oil refinery complex in the northern city of Haifa sustained localized damage during the night’s missile attack from Iran, the company reports to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
There are no reports of casualties.
The company says refining activities continue, although other facilities on the site have shut down. It adds that it is examining the impact on its operations and the return of the shuttered facilities to activity.
It makes no mention of a possible environmental impact on Haifa residents.
The greater Haifa area was targeted with some 40 missiles overnight, and one projectile struck a home in the nearby town of Tamra, killing four civilians.
