The Saudi coalition has used, in various areas of Yemen, especially the border areas, cluster bombs and conventional weapons banned internationally in action represent how it neglects the principles of humanitarian law. The last of these crimes in which the Saudi coalition has used banned weapons is the bombing of civilians’ homes with cluster bombs in Al-Hijla area – Razih District- Saada Governorate, 9 May 2018. This crime happened when the Saudi warplanes targeted the civilians’ homes with cluster bombs some of them did not explode during the targeting but in the next day they exploded among a group of family members of Abdullrahman Mohammed Ali.
