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 17 August 2015, an air strike by the Arab coalition forces resulted in the death of at least five civilians, three women and two children, and wounding at least five other civilians, including a woman, in Al-Qarameah neighborhood, in the Main street in Jeblah, located about 6 kilometers to the south of Ibb city. The strike destroyed a two-story house, containing eight apartments and inhabited by six families that were inside when it was targeted. In Addition to the fact that Abdul Razak Ahmad Ba’alawy was wounded in the raid, his mother and two sisters and his two nephew were all killed. Ba’alawy explained to Mwatana that a coalition plane dropped a bomb on his uncle Abdul Karim house, who is an immigrant in Saudi Arabia, at 1:00 a.m., saying that he had come here with his family from Hodaidah to escape the hot weather in the coastal city, while most of those living in the building were Displaced from Ta’iz and Hodaidah. Ba’alawy went on: “We heard the sound of a plane that bombed in a place somewhat far away from Jeblah, and after half an hour the plane bombed in Jeblah. I barely emerged from my uncle’s house after the fall of the bomb, and all I saw was a totally destroyed house. The neighborhood residents dug out the children first from under the rubble, then the rest of the victims. We found my sister and her head is divided into two halves. My other sister, a mother of three children, died while breastfeeding her young son, while her son survived and nothing happened to him. Ba’alawy denied any movement or deployment of militants in the area. Shawki Al-Wosabi (25 years old), a witness and a neighbor of the victims said that most of the residents fled after the strike for fear of renewed bombardment, pointing out that the majority of the area’s residents are women and children, because the breadwinner of these families are immigrants in other countries." ^[+]
