Leviathan and Karish gas platforms — wartime security shutdown
28 February–8 April 2026
Offshore Israel, Mediterranean Sea
What happened
Israel ordered production stopped at the Leviathan and Karish offshore gas platforms as a wartime security precaution; neither platform was reported struck. Tamar remained online. Leviathan resumed after roughly one month, while Karish was authorized to restart after the April ceasefire. This grouped marker records security-driven operational disruption, not physical damage.
