The Houthi attacks in Bab el-Mandeb strait have completely halted the trade activities of the Port of Eilat, placing it in a complicated financial situation.
HRW has also called for sanctions against Israel, which is what the Yemenis are effectively doing. I’m not sure how HRW squares that circle, but maybe they are just not a very serious organization. Five civilian deaths (as you say; the article you linked doesn’t mention any) is certainly a shame, but sanctions have to be enforced somehow.
Cool! Let’s sanction Israel then! HRW squares that circle because two people can be wrong at once. Shooting civilians is not sanctioning. The US doesn’t sanction North Korea by blowing up South Korean shipping.
The US maintains its sanctions against the DPRK (and Cuba, and Iran, etc.) by having established a credible threat of violence against anyone, including civilians, that might attempt to ignore or circumvent them. Those sanctions also directly target civilians as well because they include banking, which has the practical effect of blocking things like medical supplies even if such goods are explicitly permitted in the sanction orders. The Yemenis are doing a comparatively better job of not targeting civilians in spite of the less sophisticated means at their disposal.
Hell yeah! War crimes are ok when my side does it!
Impeding or attacking a supply line is not a war crime lmao

What war crimes are Ansar Allah alleged to have committed against Israeli shipping?
They’ve killed civilians on civilian vessels that are not Israeli flagged, going to, or coming from Israel.
Human Rights Watch says that recklessly attacking a civilian vessel is a war crime.

Since you know the Global North is aiding and abetting Israel’s genocide, and so obviously will do no such thing, why are you even saying that?
North Korea isn’t committing genocide.
You are being deeply unserious while a genocide in your name is in progress.

War crimes aren’t real and complaining about them is stupid.
Just look at what Russia and Israel are getting away with.
