Eye of Humanity : Targeting Civilians Is A War Crime

The “Eye of Humanity” Center for Rights and Development condemned, in the strongest terms, the savage crime and treacherous aggression committed by the Zionist occupation entity against Hodeidah Governorate.

In a statement, the center noted that the Zionist enemy’s airstrikes—which targeted Hodeidah Port, Ras Issa Port, and the central Ras Kathib power station with over fifty high-explosive bombs—constitute a blatant assault on vital civilian infrastructure. Millions of Yemenis depend on these facilities for food, medicine, fuel, and electricity amid a suffocating blockade and catastrophic humanitarian conditions.

The statement clarified that this criminal aggression is part of the occupation entity’s ongoing campaign of systematic terrorism, as it continues to commit genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 2023—destroying residential neighborhoods over their inhabitants’ heads and targeting hospitals, refugee camps, and shelters, resulting in tens of thousands of martyrs and wounded, most of whom are children and women.

The statement added: “The Zionist war machine has not stopped attacking Lebanese and Syrian territories with repeated airstrikes, in flagrant violation of these nations’ sovereignty and a constant threat to regional peace and security.”

It emphasized that “this criminal escalation in the Red Sea, along with the ongoing aggression against Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, exposes the Zionist occupation entity’s embodiment—relying on absolute American support, shameful international silence, and a disgraceful UN stance that legitimizes extermination and buries international law beneath the rubble of innocent victims.”

The center stressed that the suspicious silence of international institutions, particularly the UN Security Council, is not neutrality but rather blatant complicity—an implicit participation in the crime that encourages the rogue entity to continue killing and destroying without deterrence or accountability.

It affirmed that targeting ports, power stations, and civilian facilities constitutes a war crime and a crime against humanity, demanding urgent international action to hold the perpetrators accountable and halt this unchecked Zionist aggression that spares no one.

The center renewed its call for independent human rights organizations worldwide to document these crimes, pursue justice through international courts and forums, and prevent victimized nations from being abandoned to aggression and global betrayal.

The statement concluded by asserting that the Yemeni people, like the peoples of Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, will not remain idle—reserving their legitimate right to defend their dignity, sovereignty, and national security by all possible means.
