In a recent escalation of tensions, an Iranian missile strike targeted oil refineries in Haifa, Israel's northern port city, according to the country's Energy Ministry. The attack, which occurred on Thursday, caused minor disruptions but no significant damage, as reported by Energy Minister Eli Cohen.
