Human Rights Watch has described Israeli airstrikes on Yemen's Hodeidah port in July as potentially constituting a war crime. The strikes, which targeted oil facilities and a power station, resulted in the deaths of at least six individuals. The organization characterized the attacks as possibly indiscriminate or disproportionate, raising concerns over civilian impact. The incident has brought Israel-Yemen relations into focus, especially following recent Houthi attacks.
