They targeted oil facilities and fuel storage tanks, resulting in civilian casualties.
Mwatana for Human Rights stated that the Israeli airstrikes on vital civilian infrastructure in Al-Hudaydah city , which were carried out by Israeli fighter jets around 5:50 pm on Saturday, constitute war crimes that exacerbate the severe humanitarian crisis facing millions of civilians in Yemen.
The Israeli fighter jets conducted around six dual attacks on oil facilities, fuel tanks, and the port's wharf and cranes in Al-Hudaydah port. Attacks also targeted the central power generation station in the Al-Kathib area, Salif district, Al-Hudaydah governorate, northwest of Yemen, knocking out all of Al-Hudaydah city's power supply stations. The initial information indicates that more than 28 injured workers were transported to the Al-Thawra General Hospital, and more than 11 injured were taken to the Military Hospital, while the rest of the injured were distributed to Al-Olfee Hospital and Al-Amal Hospital in Al-Hudaydah city. The injuries ranged from burns, fractures, and shrapnel, while many killed victims remain trapped under the rubble, as the rescue teams were unable to retrieve them due to the widespread and ongoing fires for hours.
