Hezbollah Targets Israeli Naval Base in Haifa with Precision Missiles

Last updated Mar 31, 2026

Hezbollah announced in a statement that the strike targeted the naval base in the city of Haifa on Monday and achieved the desired objectives.

The statement noted that resistance fighters conducted the missile operation in defense of Lebanon, and in response to recurrent bombings on civilians, their displacement, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure.

In recent days, the fighters of the resistance movement have carried out as many as two offensive operations per hour.

Among the most notable strikes was a missile attack that reached 200 kilometers deep into the occupied territories, as well as a significant blow inflicted on the Israeli regime’s ground forces operating in the northern sector.

Haifa oil refinery targeted in missile strike

Meanwhile, Israel’s Hebrew-language Channel 13 television channel reported that the oil refinery in Haifa had come under attack for the second time in a month.

The Bazan Group, one of the largest energy groups in the occupied territories, said in a statement on Monday that its infrastructure operated by a foreign company had been damaged.

The statement further asserted that most sections of the Haifa oil refinery are operational, and efforts are underway to relaunch the rest.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the strike on the Israeli energy facility.

Avihu Han, Deputy Mayor of Haifa and head of the Haifa Bay Cities Union for Environmental Protection, reacted angrily to the attack, criticizing prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for risking the lives of Haifa residents and jeopardizing Israel’s energy security.

He said a strike on refineries in the heart of a populated residential area constitutes a fiasco of energy and security policies.
