July 2nd… a day on which life in all its details was targeted, and a damning record documenting the crimes of the American-Saudi-Emirati aggression against Yemen and the Yemenis.

The crimes committed on July 2nd during the years of the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression were not merely isolated military raids, but rather a clear example of a systematic targeting of the Yemeni people and their livelihoods across various governorates. On this day, scenes of residential neighborhoods being bombed, schools, health centers, and service and economic facilities being targeted, along with markets, farms, roads, and educational institutions, are repeated. This reflects the widening scope of violations directly affecting civilians, leaving hundreds of victims and widespread destruction of public and private property.

The timeline of these crimes reveals that the aggression was not limited to intensive air operations, but extended to missile and artillery shelling of border areas, and to the continued violations by mercenaries during the following years, which confirms that targeting civilians remained a consistent policy that accompanied the various stages of the aggression.

On July 2, 2015, the aggression aircraft committed a series of bloody crimes in a number of governorates, as two citizens were martyred and fifteen others were injured as a result of targeting citizens’ homes in the Al-Talh area of ​​Sahar district and the Officers’ Quarter in Saada city, which led to the collapse of a large number of homes and severe damage to others, in conjunction with raids targeting the Al-Qalaa area in Razih district, and Saudi missile and artillery shelling on the Al-Ghour area in the border district of Ghamr.
