A report by the Hebrew website Calaclist said that half of the lines leading to Israel via the Red Sea had been halted, following the attacks that targeted several ships in the Red Sea, carried out by the Houthi group.

Israeli reports, according to the site, indicate that the cessation of companies will exacerbate the rise in shipping and merchandise prices, especially with the ships arriving in Israel forced to circle through Africa, which increases the amount of risks and raises the cost per ship to about 400 thousand dollars per ship, according to By Israeli academics.

The website explained that the suffering increased after four international shipping companies stopped crossing the Red Sea, considering this a real storm that may affect global trade routes and the prices of goods in Israel and around the world.
