An Iranian strike on the Bazan refinery plant near Haifa killed three Israelis on Sunday.

Danny Abraham, 59, from Kiryat Motzkin, was announced as one of the fatalities from the missile strike.

A missile barrage from Iran hit Bazan oil refinery pipelines and transmission lines in the Haifa Bay over the weekend, forcing a partial temporary shutdown of some secondary facilities, though the majority of the bay is still operational.

Multiple reports of electronic interference

Coinciding with the heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said on Monday that it received multiple reports of increasing electronic interference in the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz and that the interference is significantly impacting vessels’ positional reporting through automated systems.

Israel has continued to strike targets inside Iran, as Tehran launched missile attacks on Israeli territory. Iran fired around 40 missiles at the Haifa area on Saturday night. Bazan, the oil refining and petrochemicals company located in Haifa, operates the largest oil refinery in the country.

This is a developing story.
