According to the data, the port of Haifa is bordered by the eastern side of the Mediterranean Sea, which is the largest port in Israel and one of the important ports in the eastern Mediterranean. It is the transportation and industrial center of northern Israel and a railway hub on the Mediterranean coast. Freight traffic accounts for more than half of the entire country of Israel, and it has both economic and military functions.
In January this year, according to local Israeli media statistics, the conflict caused huge losses to Israeli port trade, and the direct economic losses at that time amounted to $3 billion. Previously, the port of Eilat, Israel's third-largest seaport, was completely halted by Houthi missiles. The port was largely paralyzed, and the movement of ships came to a complete halt.
