According to Mwatana for Human Rights: "Despite the statements issued by the Spokesman of the Arab Allied Forces –Brigadier General Ahmed Aseeri- that all precautionary measures were taken to avoid civilian casualties and to ensure the safety and security of all Yemenis, a sizable number of the coalition’ aerial attacks did target civilian areas and resulted in killing and injury of civilian, damage of homes, civil institutions and infrastructures. These violations may tantamount to war crimes in accordance with the International Humanitarian Law. [...] On 2 July 2015 at one in the afternoon, Saudi-led Arab coalition forces bombed two houses in a residential neighborhood and they are Ibn Zahir house and Al-Zaraa house in Al Al-Zaraa neighborhood in Sahaar District. The targeted area is located to the north of Al-Talh market which specializes in arms trade and its about 12 kilometers north-west of the city of Sada’a. The air strike killed five civilians, including three children and a woman, and wounded seven others, including three women. According to Sadeq Al-Zaraa, 35 years old, a mechanic who his cousin was killed and five members of his family wounded (his brother and sister, two uncles and a cousin), the coalition planes bombed Al-Zahir home at 1 p.m. The residents of the neighborhood began to flee from their homes, including Al-Sawan family who fled to Al Al-Zaraa home before it was targeted by a bomb in a raid. Al-Zaraa told Mwatana that three members from Al Sawan family died, the mother and her son and grandson, in addition to a child from Al-Zaraa family, and a child from Al-Dashal family who was the only son among seven girls and his father suffers from difficult psychological condition. He added: “Many people from these families were also injured, and the house in the neighborhood were destroyed. My family and I got out of the hole we ran into to hide. We wanted to know who died and who got injured in the attack. We saw a member of the AlZaraa family, he was wounded and was saying (Sufficient is God for me, and how perfect is the Trustee). We shrouded the dead at that time except one of Al Al-Zaraa as we did not find him until four in the afternoon. His body was buried under the house gate where the metal gate and concrete columns fell over him. We rushed the wounded to Al-Salam hospital in Sada’a. None of them belongs to Al-Houthi or his group, while the houses of the Houthi leaders were not touched by anyone.” He explained that the closest site that the Houthis occupied was a police station outside the village, about two kilometers away, adding that the coalition forces had bombed that station before the bombing of the village." ^[+]
