Israel Sanctions UK Company Over Fuel Transfers to Hezbollah

Defense Minister Israel Katz has imposed sanctions on the British energy firm Coral Oil, controlled by Lebanon's Yamin family, after it transferred approximately 130,000 liters of fuel to the Hezbollah-owned company Al-Amana, The Jerusalem Post and JDN reported.

The measure was enacted through Israel's National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing. The Defense Ministry stated that supplying fuel to Hezbollah directly provides the group with capabilities that sustain its terrorist operations against Israel.

Further details regarding the scope of the sanctions or a response from the company have not yet been released.
