The names of two additional victims of the Sunday night Iranian missile strike on the Bazan oil refinery were cleared for publication on Tuesday.

Igor Fradkin, 50, from Kiryat Ata, and Uri Levi, 58, from Haifa, were both killed in the blast.

Fradkin leaves behind his wife, Ludmila, and five children.

His funeral will be held on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. at the Tel Regev cemetery.

“Kiryat Ata bids a deep farewell to Igor Fradkin, may his memory be a blessing, a son of the city, who was killed this week in the missile attack at the Bazan refinery,” the mayor of the city, Yaakov Peretz, said.

“My heart is with the Fradkin family during this difficult time of loss and mourning. On my behalf and on behalf of the city's residents, I extend heartfelt condolences.”

Danny Abraham from Kiryat Motzkin was also killed in the blast.

“Danny was a family man in every sense of the word - a devoted husband to Iris, his life partner since the age of 16, and a caring father,” Mayor of Kiryat Motzkin, Tziki Avisar, said.

“For over 30 years, Danny worked in the Israeli energy sector, an optimistic and humble man, always with a smile and a willingness to help others. His contribution to the war effort during this time, despite the personal risks involved, is deserving of all praise,” Avisar eulogized.

The quiet and modest Abraham family will bear the cost of this war for life. I met with them this morning and extended the condolences of the entire city. The Kiryat Motzkin Municipality will stand by their side and support them as needed,” Avisar said.

His funeral took place at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the Tel Regev cemetery.

Labor and industrial organizations express condolences

The Haifa branch of the Histadrut labor federation expressed its condolences to the families of those killed in the blast.

The general Histadrut labor federation wrote in a statement, “We bow our heads in pain and sorrow over the tragic passing of the three beloved Bazan workers, under such difficult and painful circumstances caused by the malicious Iranian missile attack.”

“May they [the families] find the strength to bear the pain and remember the workers for their way and deeds,” the statement said.

The Manufacturers Association of Israel also expressed its condolences and appreciation for the workers of the refinery and “their important contribution to the energy security of Israel, also in an emergency hour.”

The Bazan Group announced Monday evening that all of its oil refineries and subsidiaries were shut down as a result of the deadly strike.  

The attack caused significant damage to the power plant, which supplies part of the steam and electricity needed for the group’s operations across the refinery complex. Additional damage was also reported.
