EU poised to sanction over Russian grain ship docking in Haifa

Iranian barrage targets Haifa's Bazan refinery, sparking fire and alerts

A fresh Iranian missile barrage hits Haifa, with the Bazan oil refinery among the targets, causing a blaze after a strike or falling debris. Earlier barrages caused shrapnel damage and temporary power disruptions; a gasoline tank was burning inside the refinery, though officials said there is no public hazard. Residents were asked to close windows while rescue teams were dispatched and environmental officials assess potential leaks. A related hit on the Ne’ot Hovav industrial zone in the Negev is mentioned, with hazmat considerations under review.

Trump gives Iran a week for a deal as US vows rapid response to Haifa strike

Trump said the U.S. will respond soon to Iran’s strikes on Israel’s Haifa refinery and Kuwait’s water/electricity plants, urged Tehran to seal a deal within about a week, and claimed Iran’s new leadership is more reasonable; he also said Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen and may be gravely injured, and warned that if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed the U.S. could obliterate Iran’s energy infrastructure and desalination plants, while signaling openness to talks with parliamentary speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf.

Chance Haifa Coast Find Uncovers 12th-Century Crusader Sword

A three-foot, one-handed Crusader sword from the 12th century was found by chance by University of Haifa student Shlomi Katsin off Dor Beach near Haifa. After reporting the find, the Israel Antiquities Authority allowed its removal for preservation. CT scans at Haifa’s Medica Elisha Hospital indicated the blade was designed for one-handed use and likely belonged to a European Crusader knight, though much of the iron has corroded away. The rare discovery, still encrusted with shells and sediment, offers new insights into medieval maritime life and Crusader warfare in the region.

"Israel Prepares for Potential War with Hezbollah as Tensions Escalate"

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that a potential war with Hezbollah could result in significant rocket strikes on Haifa, urging the city to enhance its preparations. With Hezbollah possessing 150,000 rockets and the capability to launch up to 8,000 per day, even with an 80-90% interception rate by the Iron Dome, the potential damage to Haifa is concerning. While Israel is confident in its military capabilities, it acknowledges that Hezbollah's sustained rocket fire could pose a significant threat to the home front.
