Iran carried out a missile strike on a large Israeli power plant located in Hadera on the Mediterranean coast, according to a report verified by the BBC on March 26, 2026. Video footage showed gray smoke rising from beside one of the plant’s cooling towers. The BBC confirmed the authenticity of the footage through satellite imagery and reverse-image search, determining that the video was first uploaded on the same day.

The Hadera facility is one of Israel’s largest power plants and was converted from coal to gas operation in 2022. Following the attack, The Times of Israel, citing the Israel Electric Corporation, reported that the ballistic missile strike caused no damage to the plant’s infrastructure.

The incident adds to ongoing regional tensions, though immediate operational disruptions at the facility were not reported in the available information.
