According to Amnesty International: "The strikes that Amnesty International has researched were unlawful – in that they deliberately targeted civilian objects or disproportionately harmed civilians and civilian objects in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated from the attack, or failed to distinguish between civilian objects and military objectives. [...] The residents told Amnesty International that coalition forces conducted multiple air strikes in the village on two different days. According to the residents, three strikes on 21 October hit the Hadhran mosque in the village (at around 11:30am), a nearby hill, and then a home. The strike on the mosque killed one man and injured a second, according to the residents and pro-Ansarullah local media reports. [...] Amnesty International reviewed video footage released by a local media site on 24 October taken after the strikes on the mosque and school. The video does not show the presence of any military personnel or materiel, consistent with the residents’ statements. Residents said that the nearest military objective to the village was the Shujah checkpoint, several kilometres away." [+]
