Amid escalating strikes, a senior Iranian commander has claimed that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has effectively abandoned northern Israel under sustained missile and rocket fire. The remarks come as Haifa faces repeated attacks targeting critical infrastructure, including ports, energy facilities and rail networks. Iran says the barrage is retaliation for U.S.-Israeli strikes on its economic assets, while Israel has not confirmed the extent of damage. The claims, if true, signal mounting pressure on Israeli defenses and raise concerns about economic disruption as supply chains and civilian infrastructure come under increasing strain.
