Supply chain impact

Watch points

• Monitor for any disruption to Israeli port operations (e.g., Ashdod, Haifa) or airspace closures, which would directly impact regional logistics and trade flows.
• Watch for retaliatory strikes or an expansion of hostilities to other regional actors, which could threaten energy transit chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz.
• Track statements from major shipping alliances and insurers regarding war risk premiums for vessels calling at Israeli ports or transiting the Eastern Mediterranean.
