Israeli Airstrikes on Al Hudaydah Port: An Open-Source Investigation

On July 20, 2024, Israeli airstrikes on Yemen’s Al Hudaydah port caused significant damage and casualties. The Yemeni Archive’s investigation reveals that Israeli fighter jets (F-15, F-16, and F-35) struck at least 10 targets, including fuel storage facilities and a power plant, killing at least six and injuring over 83. The IDF claimed responsibility, citing retaliation for a prior Houthi drone attack.

This incident highlights the complexities of the Yemeni conflict and underscores the urgent need for accountability and conflict de-escalation.
