Fire breaks out at Israel’s oil refinery in Haifa
Saturday, 01 May 2021 6:40 AM [ Last Update: Saturday, 01 May 2021 7:15 AM ]

A huge fire has broken out at an oil refinery in the port city of Haifa in the occupied territories, with initial media reports citing a cyberattack.
The Israeli media said the incident took place in one of the facilities at the BAZAN refinery in Haifa late Friday.
The factory's emergency team immediately began working to extinguish the blaze and rescue forces were called to the site to gain control of the flames.
Israel's English-language daily newspaper Jerusalem Post, citing environment protection ministry, claimed that the fire at the BAZAN refinery had erupted as a result of a “damaged pipe in the CCR system,” and a report by Israel's Channel 12 television network said the control valve of one of the installation pipes had broken.
The Israeli paper said the fire has been put out and the plant has currently stopped supplying fuel to the oil facility in Haifa.
The media outlets have, so far, provided no details about the extent of the damage and the number of possible casualties.
In an unprecedented incident last week, Israel reported a missile blast near its highly-secretive Dimona nuclear facility. Tel Aviv claimed that the missile had landed in the Israeli-occupied territories as a result of “errant” Syrian anti-aircraft fire.

Syrian missile hit near Dimona nuclear site showed Israel's vulnerability in asymmetrical war: Analyst
A political commentator says the Syrian missile hit near the top-secret Dimona nuclear site pointed to the Israeli regime’s vulnerability in the face of an asymmetrical war.
Analysts, however, cast doubt on the regime’s account of the incident and said the missile had likely been fired towards the occupied territories by resistance groups in the region.
Tel Aviv admitted that its so-called Iron Dome missile shield had failed to intercept and down the missile, which made air raid sirens go off and triggered panic among Israeli settlers.
The highly-publicized Iron Dome, co-developed by the American company Raytheon and Israeli firm Rafael, is claimed to be capable of detecting, assessing and intercepting a variety of shorter-range targets such as rockets, artillery and mortars.
The anti-missile project was originally developed to counter small rockets that Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups fired into the occupied territories in retaliation for Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians.
The missile system has proven largely ineffective in serving that purpose.

Iran: Missile strike near Dimona reactor is message to Israel

Iranian media outlets said yesterday that the missile that fell near the Dimona nuclear reactor was a message to Israel that "its sensitive areas are not fortified".
"The Israeli narrative about the missile that fell near the Dimona reactor contains clear loopholes," they said, adding that the missile could have hit Dimona, "but creating a catastrophe is not required".
A spokesman for the Israeli army said yesterday that an anti-aircraft missile launched from Syria towards an Israeli jet exploded near Dimona in southern Israel overnight triggering warning sirens near the Dimona nuclear reactor.
The spokesman identified the projectile as an SA-5 surface-to-air missile fired by Syrian forces, explaining that it overflew its target to reach the Dimona area, 200 kilometres south of the Syrian border.
