Update: Israeli Ports Remain Operating Normally Amid Israel-Iran Conflict
Haifa and Ashdod: Normal Operations Amid Missile Attacks
Despite military tensions between Israel and Iran entering their fourth day with multiple missile strikes, two key Israeli ports – Haifa and Ashdod – remain operational.
Over the weekend, missiles from Iran targeted the Haifa area, home to one of the region’s busiest container ports, along with a nearby oil refinery. However, there were no reports of serious damage or disruption to port operations.
Notably, the Haifa port handles up to 30% of Israel’s total imports and is currently operated by the Adani Group (India). ZIM, a shipping company based there, confirmed that ships are arriving on schedule and bookings to and from Israel are being processed as usual.

Middle East Logistics Risks Remain High
While ports haven’t been directly affected, the entire Middle East region is experiencing a significant increase in maritime risks. According to the Joint Maritime Information Centre (JMIC), the main threat now doesn’t come from physical attacks, but from signal disruptions and navigation safety issues:
- AIS (Automatic Identification System) spoofing
- GPS jamming, severely impacting navigation
- This situation is worsening in the waters near Bandar Abbas (Iran) and the Strait of Hormuz.
In particular, the Iranian Parliament has officially discussed the possibility of closing the Strait of Hormuz – a narrow but extremely important route for global shipping. If this scenario occurs, it could stifle 20% of the world’s oil and gas supply, causing a chain reaction shock to energy-dependent industries.
Chain Reaction: Containers, Oil & Gas, and Transit Networks
According to expert Jean-Paul Rodrigue (Texas A&M University), 30 million TEU containers per year move around the Hormuz region, mostly transit cargo – unrelated to oil and gas – but could be severely affected if the shipping route is disrupted.
Some notable developments at other ports in the region:
- Jebel Ali (UAE): still operating stably, no disruptions reported
- Salalah (Oman): experiencing disruptions due to weather (monsoon), unrelated to conflict
This is evidence of the fragility of the regional supply chain: a single link failing – whether military or weather-related – can have a chain reaction impacting the entire international logistics system.
Conclusion
Currently, Israeli seaports are maintaining stable operations and have not been affected by the conflict. However, the level of risk to shipping operations in the Middle East is increasing, especially on strategic shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.
Import-export businesses need to continuously update market information and geopolitical scenarios to prepare flexible logistics plans and avoid being caught off guard if the situation becomes complicated.
