Hezbollah fires 240+ rockets at Haifa, Carmel coast; oil refinery hit

·Haifa, Israel

Hezbollah launches a mass rocket salvo of 240+ projectiles targeting Haifa, the Carmel coast, and industrial areas. The Haifa Bay oil refinery is struck, causing fires visible across the city. Israeli Iron Dome and David's Sling intercept the majority but at least 11 rockets impact, killing 3 and wounding 29.

Hezbollah launched its largest single salvo of the conflict — 240+ Katyusha rockets, Falaq-1, and Burkan heavy rockets — targeting Haifa port, the industrial zone, and the Haifa oil refinery. Israeli Air Defence intercept rates were 94% but the scale of the launch overwhelmed local batteries temporarily. At least 11 rockets impacted: 7 in industrial Haifa Bay (hitting the BAZAN refinery complex, causing major fires), and 4 in residential Haifa, killing 3 civilians and wounding 29. The refinery fire creates a secondary economic impact — BAZAN supplies ~30% of Israel's fuel needs. IDF is conducting counter-battery fire against identified launch sites in southern Lebanon. The Haifa municipal government activated its wartime emergency protocol. This is Hezbollah's first major industrial targeting of an Israeli oil facility since 2006. IDF spokesperson: 'Anyone who fires at Israeli cities will pay a very heavy price.'
