Israel took formal possession today of the properties of the Iraq Oil Company, a British company which operated a section of pipeline and other facilities in Israel before 1948. A contract of sale was signed Friday.
The properties taken over today include, in addition to the pipeline section from the Lebanese border to Haifa, storage tanks and loading and unloading facilities located at and in the vicinity of Haifa.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
