A single crude pipeline runs from Ashkelon to Haifa in one direction.
There are only three main ports which can provide access for oil tankers to allow for imports.
There are only two refineries.
The main one, the biggest refinery in Israel, at Haifa is offline and there is no timeline for it to be restored.
Ammo is running out.

We are starting to feel it,” he says. “You have to wait much longer to get specialist medical appointments. You might wait half a year for something that was pretty basic two or three years ago.”
Dan Ben-David, the president of Israeli think tank the Shoresh Institution, says the government will have to rip up its populist playbook because of the financial pressures.
“There’s going to be a lot we’re going to have to pay for in the future, to rebuild the army, to rebuild the north, to rebuild the south, to rebuild shattered lives,” he says.
“We’re talking about huge, huge amounts, that we’ve never faced before.
“But that makes it all the easier to basically tell interest groups that we’re going to cut you off. This is cold turkey time.”
Peach says: “The central bank has been a vocal critic of the government’s fiscal plans and said some of those offsetting spending cuts have been nowhere near as much as would be needed to prevent these imbalances in the economy forming.”
But try telling this to the investors on the stock markets. Israel’s stock market in Tel Aviv, the TA-125, is at a record high, and has risen more than 7pc since Benjamin Netanyahu’s government began its bombing raids on June 13.
The shekel has gained against the US dollar, and yields on the 10-year government bond are falling. Just over a week into the campaign, optimism abounds.

ballistic missiles are raining down on Tel Aviv and Haifa. Israel’s main airport is shut. Much of the workforce is moving in and out of bomb shelters. For most countries, such a wartime scenario would send investors fleeing and markets tanking.
Yet the opposite is happening. Israeli markets are buoyant, outperforming the world. Israeli stocks, which trade Sunday through Thursday, have been posting solid gains. The TA-125 Index, also known as the Tel Aviv 125 Index, rose for five straight sessions as of the end of last week, even as global markets tread cautiously amid the specter of a prolonged Middle East war. It rallied again on Sunday after the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Amidst an ongoing exchange of fire with Iran, Israel's Shipping and Ports Authority has ordered car importers to prepare to evacuate all electric vehicles from Israeli seaports. Battery-electric and hybrid cars are prone to high-intensity fires, and the authority wants them dispersed out of the ports of Haifa and Ashdod.
Iran has launched repeated rounds of ballistic missile strikes against targets in Israel, retaliating against ongoing Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, missile complexes and senior leaders. Iran's missile forces have suffered attrition from the Israeli aerial campaign, but continue to deliver large-scale barrages reaching as far as Haifa and Tel Aviv. On Sunday morning, nearly 30 projectiles hit residential blocks in Tel Aviv and Ness Ziona.
The ongoing threat of missile attacks prompted strict limits on public gatherings, and schools have been closed; the need to limit damage also prompted the order to prepare to evacuate electric cars from port storage lots. The logistical arrangements for relocating the vehicles remain uncertain, but large parking areas will be required, Israeli outlet Globes reports.
Amidst the ongoing threat of Iranian strikes, the 1,500-passenger Israeli cruise ship Crown Iris was asked on Sunday to delay its return by Israel's Home Front Command, according to Times of Israel. Operator Mano Maritime said that passengers aboard the vessel and those waiting to board in Ashdod have all been notified.
Crown Iris has relocated thousands of people in and out of Israel since the temporary shutdown of international flights to Tel Aviv on June 13. Air travel in and out of Israel remains limited, and Israeli national airline El Al has offered to cover the cost of transport on the cruise ship for customers whose flights were canceled due to the restrictions.
