The Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline Company has admitted that the amount of oil that spilled from the pipeline last week was 5 million t, much more than the 1 - 1.5 million t claimed earlier.
Israel's Environment Protective Ministry said in response they were skeptic of the Eilat-Ahskelon Pipeline Company's earlier claims.
Meanwhile, rains forecast for Tuesday are a growing cause for concern following the oil spill, environmental experts say.
The explosion came just five days before the start of the Eilat-Eilot conference, which brought together hundreds of alternative energy professionals, entrepreneurs, and activists from around the world gather to discuss energy policy and technology in Israel and abroad.
