No evidence ship in Haifa was attacked.

There was no evidence that the fire aboard the 'Yaf Horizon' at the Port of Haifa on June 10 came under attack from Hezbollah and was hit by a drone or gunfire. The ship has a history of inspection violations, including issues with engine room cleanliness, fire damper operations and nonworking fire alarms.

Ship on fire in Haifa

On June 10, 2024, the 'Yaf Horizon' caught fire while docked at the Israel shipyard in Haifa. The vessel had arrived in Haifa from Russia on June 9, carrying a cargo of iron or steel, and moored alongside at the Israel Shipyards, in the port's Kishon district. The tug "Ametiya" was taking a central part in the efforts to extinguish the fire on the ship, together with shore-based units of the firefighters from the Kiryot station. The fire broke out on the second level of the engine room, where a generator was burning, which made extinguishing procedure very difficult. There were about five tons of burning fuel on the 2nd deck, which were impossible to access. All the ship's crew evacuated, so there was no danger to human life.
