Authorities and multiple news outlets report that Iranian missiles struck **near a major power station in Hadera — home to the Israel Electric Corporation power plant — in the latest round of Iranian strikes against Israeli territory.
Footage and witness accounts show heavy smoke rising near the facility following the barrage, which Israeli sirens triggered across central parts of the country.
According to the Israeli military and electricity company, the strike landed near the power station but did not cause damage to the infrastructure itself or disrupt the grid, despite initial reports of explosions and smoke.
The facility in question is one of Israel’s largest power producers and plays a critical role in supplying electricity to central Israel.
The incident comes amid broader escalation in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, which has seen multiple waves of missile and drone fire exchanged since late February following political and military tensions.
Iran previously warned it would target energy infrastructure if Iranian power systems were struck, underscoring its intentions to retaliate against perceived attacks on critical infrastructure.
At this stage, official statements from either side are limited. Israeli military spokespeople are expected to provide further details as assessments continue.
