Iran has launched attacks<\/span> against Israel in retaliation for a joint Israeli-US attack that killed its supreme leader, but footage purportedly showing the impact of an Iranian missile strike on the northern Israeli port of Haifa is AI-generated. The port’s operator refuted the rumours and said the port was operating normally days after the video circulated.<\/p>\n “Tensions in the Middle East reached their peak after Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a retaliatory strike on Israeli territory on Monday (3\/2\/2026),” says part of the Indonesian-language caption of a Facebook video<\/a> shared on March 3, 2026.<\/p>\n “In the attack, the latest ‘Kheibar’ ballistic missiles reportedly succeeded in hitting the Port of Haifa, the main logistics gateway that handles 56 percent of Israel’s national cargo.”<\/p>\n The video appears to show a fire at a port before a sudden explosion<\/span> that blankets the surrounding area with clouds of smoke.<\/p>\n
