Israel's Tamar offshore gas field closed due to intense rocket attacks
Israel has temporarily shut down the Tamar offshore natural gas field due to heavy rocket fire from the Gaza Strip. The Energy Ministry ordered the suspension of production at the field, which is a major source of natural gas for the country. Power stations will need to rely on alternative fuels to meet electricity demands. Chevron, the operator of the Tamar reservoir, confirmed the shutdown. Israel's natural gas operations have played a crucial role in the country's energy independence, and the Leviathan field, the nation's largest, continues to pump gas.
