ISRAEL'S JULY STRIKES ON YEMEN'S HODEIDAH PORT A 'POSSIBLE WAR CRIME', HR WATCH

ADEN, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Israeli airstrikes on Yemen's Hodeidah port last month
appeared to be an indiscriminate or disproportionate attack on civilians which
may amount to a war crime, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Monday.
Israel said on July 20 its warplanes struck Houthi military targets near
Hodeidah.
The attack targeted oil facilities and a power station and HRW said it killed at
least six people and wounded at least 80.

It took place a day after a Houthi drone hit Israel's economic hub Tel Aviv,
killing one person, which HRW said also may constitute a war crime.
The retaliatory Israeli airstrikes on Hodeidah hit more than two dozen oil
storage tanks and two shipping cranes in the port, as well as a power plant in
the province's Salif district, Human Rights Watch said.
"The attacks appeared to cause disproportionate harm to civilians and civilian
objects. Serious violations of the laws of war committed willfully, that is
deliberately or recklessly, are war crimes."

Analyzed satellite imagery found that the oil tanks burned for at least three
days, posing environmental concerns, according to the HRW report.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli foreign ministry.
Hodeidah, which has been under Houthi control since 2021, is critical for
delivering food and other necessities to the Yemeni population, who depend on
imports. About 70 percent of Yemen's commercial imports and 80 percent of its
humanitarian assistance passes through the port.

The Houthis have launched missiles and drones at Israel and disrupted global
trade through the Red Sea in response to Israel's assault on Gaza, further
destabilising the Middle East as war in the Palestinian enclave rages on after
10 months.
Israel says the Houthis have launched 200 attacks against it since the Gaza war
began, many of them intercepted and most of them not deadly.
But a rare Houthi drone strike on July 19 that hit Tel Aviv prompted Israel to
announce its first strikes against the group the next day.

The Houthi movement, known formally as Ansar Allah, said it would continue to
attack Israel in response.
