Haifa Port employees received threats via messages.

On the evening of October 21, 2024, many employees of the Haifa port received notifications of a possible missile attack on their workplace. The message read: “We have hacked the port's systems and know you work there. You should leave the port area before we attack.” The Port Authority said the text message had no impact on operations and that the employee numbers were likely obtained from an old database.

Port representatives said that the leak of phone numbers occurred a long time ago, and the current threat did not affect the work process. According to them, the port is operating stably, and the staff remains in their jobs. The safety of employees and the operation of the port remain the focus of attention of the authorities and the organization.

It is unclear who exactly is behind the threat and what the consequences may be. It is important that the authorities take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of the port and its employees in the event of a real threat.
