Israeli Airstrikes on Yemen's Hodeidah Port Deemed 'Possible War Crime' by HRW

Human Rights Watch highlights disproportionate harm to civilians and critical infrastructure in the July attacks.

Israeli airstrikes targeted oil facilities, shipping cranes, and a power plant, killing six and injuring at least 80.
The strikes followed a Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv that killed one civilian, which HRW also called a possible war crime.
Hodeidah port is vital for Yemen's imports, with 70% of commercial goods and 80% of humanitarian aid passing through it.
The damage to the port's infrastructure could exacerbate Yemen's humanitarian crisis, impacting millions reliant on aid.
HRW's analysis included satellite imagery and interviews, but neither Israeli nor Houthi authorities have responded to findings.
