The Israeli airstrikes on Yemen’s Hodeidah port on the evening of July 20, 2024, were an apparently unlawful indiscriminate or disproportionate attack on civilians and could have a long-term impact on millions of Yemenis who rely on the port for food and humanitarian aid.

What's that, 4 or 5 different countries Israel has bombed in the last less than a year, including Palestine?

Tell me again how they're an important ally crucial to ensuring the stability of the region 🤬

Well the states also bombing Yemen along with a few other countries, so ya ally.

Also hoothies are doing all kinds of shit

Yeah, just because the US and Saudi Arabia does something awful doesn't mean it's right for Israel to join in.

Likewise, as usual with Israel, they're primarily if not only killing innocent civilians in their "antiterrorist" bombing.

That's a war crime no matter what acts of terrorism has been committed by other Houthis elsewhere.
