Israel Sanctions UK-Registered Fuel Company Supplying Hezbollah
What happened
Defense Minister Israel Katz signed a sanction on Coral Oil following the transfer of approximately 130,000 liters of fuel to Al-Amana, a fuel company owned by Hezbollah. Coral Oil is registered in the United Kingdom but is owned by a Lebanese company, A Yamin Group S.A.L., and operates through its Lebanese branch. The sanction is part of a broader effort to target the terror supply chain.

Why it matters
The fuel supplied to Hezbollah is used to power generators, support infrastructure, and transport military components. By targeting the supply chain, the sanction aims to restrict the capabilities of the organization that sustains its activity against Israel.
