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 the 1st of July 2015, four civilians from the same family, including a woman and two children were killed when a Saudi-led Arab coalition plane bombed the house of Fahmi Al-Najdain at one in the afternoon, in Al-Najdain village, located in Al-Hawban area (east of Ta’iz city) Mwatana met with the teacher Qasim Saeed (55 years old) whose daughter and his daughter’s husband and his grandchildren were killed in the incident. He recounted to what extent the strike was devastating: “I was at home when I received a telephone call informing me about what had happened. I went there immediately. When I arrived at the house, we tried to search for their bodies under the rubble of the house but we did not find them. During our search in the valley next to the house, we found their bodies burnt and torn. We found the body of the younger girl near the house door, 15 meters from the house. Whereas for the old girl and her father, we found their bodies about 100 meters away outside the house. And we found my daughter about 60 meters from the house. No medical teams came to the rescue. I and the people from the neighborhood took the bodies then buried them.” He added: “I didn’t believe what I was seeing in front of me. The strike was not expected. It’s like it is a nightmare. This is what I can describe it, but what I feel even a mountain will not be able to endure it. My little granddaughter was talking to me on the phone before the house was bombed when I called to check on them. The bombing then was in an area close to my house. My granddaughter had told me to come to their house because as she described it, it’s safe. Imagine how my feeling would be after I knew that the bomb hit them.” Qassim said that the strike, which hit Al-Najdain house, was part of a series of air strikes in Al-Hawban area in Ta’iz that began at 7:00 a.m. and continued until 1:00 p.m." ^[+]
