Dangerous Chemical Leak Reported at Haifa Refinery
webangah News Agency reports that Zionist regime media have exposed a hazardous material leak at the Haifa refinery, with indications linking the incident to post-repair complications following Iran’s missile attacks.
The sources stated that hazardous substances leaked from the facility, raising concerns about operational failures in the aftermath of repairs conducted post-Iranian strikes. This growth coincides with Yona Yahav, mayor of Haifa, reiterating demands for the refinery’s evacuation after describing its continued operation as an “existential threat” to the city. His statements followed Iran’s retaliatory strikes against the Zionist regime’s earlier attacks, which severely damaged the Bazan refinery complex.
The mayor emphasized that both the owning company and refinery operations must be removed from Haifa’s port area due to their extreme danger to public safety.
New findings from inspections at the refinery confirm that the presence of the Bazan Group and its facility poses a severe danger, threatening the lives of Haifa’s residents.
A spokesperson emphasized that the threat posed by this company to Haifa is unequivocally clear, stating: “The Israeli cabinet must act without delay to evacuate and remove this company.”
In related remarks, Aviho Han, head of Haifa’s Environmental Association, said: “Haifa’s residents have once again paid the price for the Bazan group’s reckless and irresponsible actions.”
He further stressed that there is no longer any place for this company in the heart of Haifa’s population, adding: “The refinery’s reconstruction and repairs must be halted promptly.”
The Times of Israel had previously reported, citing Bazan Group as the refinery’s owner, that…
Haifa’s infrastructure suffered severe damage during Iran’s attack and may take months to resume operations.
Earlier reports indicated that Iran’s missile strike on June 16 caused extensive damage to the company’s facilities.
israel’s Channel 11 also reported that Bazan Oil Refinery ceased operations after an Iranian missile hit the facility’s power plant.
