Defense Ministry sanctions UK registered company after transfer of fuel to Hezbollah-owned company
Supplying fuel to Hezbollah directly provides it with capabilities that sustain its terrorist activity against Israel, the ministry said.
Israel's Defense Minister, Mr. Katz, sanctioned the UK-based energy company Coral Oil on Thursday, following the transfer of approximately 130,000 liters of fuel to Al-Amana, a fuel company owned by Hezbollah. The Defense Ministry emphasized that fuel is not merely a commercial item for Hezbollah; the organization utilizes fuel distillates to transport weapons, military components, power generators, infrastructure, and to sustain its underground operations.
Consequently, supplying fuel to Hezbollah effectively enables the terror group to maintain its activities against Israel, according to the ministry. This sanction is part of a broader initiative by the National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing and other security agencies, aiming to disrupt not only entities directly linked to Hezbollah but also the supply chains that support the terror organization.
