HRW accuses Israel of potentially committing war crimes in Yemen's Hodeidah port air strikes, which targeted vital oil and aid facilities.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) accuses Israel of potentially committing a war crime with air strikes on Yemen's Hodeidah port in July, which targeted oil facilities, a power station, and caused significant harm to civilians and infrastructure. The port is vital for delivering food and aid to Yemen's population, with 70% of its commercial imports and 80% of humanitarian aid passing through it. HRW states the disproportionate harm caused to civilians and civilian objects could constitute war crimes, and the Israeli military has not yet commented on the claims.
