Al Jazeera Podcasts Iran has been targeting fuel storage facilities as the conflict in the Middle East enters its 13th day. It's sent bread, crude oil prices above a hundred dollars a barrel. Bakrane's interior ministry has confirmed an attack on fuel storage tanks at a facility in Makharak. It says authorities are securing the site. Iraq has suspended oil operations at its ports. That's after two fallen fuel tankers were hit in the port of Al-Faw in the south. At least one crew member was killed. Another 25 were rescued. In Iran, multiple drone strikes hit fuel storage tanks at the port of Salala on Wednesday. The attack caused explosions and a major fire. Salala is an important hub for tankers wanting to bypass the state of Hormuzm and three cargo ships were attacked in the straight on Wednesday. Iran was a tie flag vessel. Twenty crew members were rescued after a fire broke out on board.
And there have also been more strikes on Iran with explosions seen in the central city of East Fahan. Takran says Israel and the U.S. have hit nearly 19,000 civilian sites since the war began. Nearly 1400 civilians have been killed, including 200 women and children. And earlier Khazbola and Iranian forces carried out a coordinated attack on Israel. The revolutionary guard has confirmed it was the first joint offensive since the war began. Strikes and interceptions were reported in several locations across Israel, including Tel Aviv. And the Israeli militaries carried out another night of heavy bombardment on the Lebanese capital. One attack killed at least eight people in a popular beachfront district of Beirut and other 30 people were injured. More than 600 people have been killed in Lebanon since the fighting resumed this month.
