Israel Shuts Its Biggest Gas Field, Halting Supply to Egypt

Israel shut down production at its biggest natural gas field after it launched airstrikes against Iran, stopping supplies to import-dependent Egypt and raising concerns about fuel shortages there.

Israel ordered the halt of the offshore Leviathan field operated by Chevron Corp. due to security concerns, according to a statement from the Energy Ministry. Energean Plc has also suspended output in the country.
