The Sanaa funeral airstrike took place on the afternoon of 8 October 2016 when 155 people were killed and at least 525 more wounded when two airstrikes, about three to eight minutes apart, hit the packed Al Kubra hall in Sanaa, Yemen during a funeral. The attack was the deadliest single bombing in the then-two year long Yemeni civil war. The funeral was being held for the father of former interior minister Jalal al-Rowaishan. Sanaa mayor Abdel Qader Hilal was reportedly among those killed. The Saudi-led coalition initially denied responsibility but then took responsibility and put the blame on information given by the Yemeni government.

  • قصف الصالة الكبرى هو قصف جوي حدث في قاعة عزاء في العاصمة اليمنية صنعاء في يوم 8 أكتوبر 2016، نفذته طائرات التحالف العربي، أشار الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة بان كي مون إن التقارير الأولية تشير إلى مسؤولية التحالف بقيادة السعودية عن القصف، في بداية الأمر نفى التحالف هذه الإتهامات. لكن أخيرا كشفت قناة بي بي سي أن السعودية أقرت بشكل غير معلن بأن إحدى طائرات التحالف العسكري الذي تقوده قصفت مجلس عزاء في صنعاء.

  • قصف الصالة الكبرى هو قصف جوي حدث في قاعة عزاء في العاصمة اليمنية صنعاء في يوم 8 أكتوبر 2016، نفذته طائرات التحالف العربي، أشار الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة بان كي مون إن التقارير الأولية تشير إلى مسؤولية التحالف بقيادة السعودية عن القصف، في بداية الأمر نفى التحالف هذه الإتهامات. لكن أخيرا كشفت قناة بي بي سي أن السعودية أقرت بشكل غير معلن بأن إحدى طائرات التحالف العسكري الذي تقوده قصفت مجلس عزاء في صنعاء. وحصلت الغارات الجوية عندما كان عشرات القادة العسكريين والضباط التابعين غالبيتهم لوزارة الداخلية والدفاع، مجتمعين في الصالة الكبرى جنوب صنعاء في مراسم عزاء والد جلال الرويشان المعين من قبل الحوثيين كوزير للداخلية. قتل في الغارة الجوية ما لا يقل عن 35 ضابط وأكثر من مائة آخرين غالبيتهم مدنيين. أعلنت الولايات المتحدة أنها ستعيد النظر في دعمها للتحالف العربي بعد هذه الضربة الجوية. وذكرت هيومان رايتس ووتش أن الذخيرة المستخدمة كانت القنبلة الموجهة بالليزر جي بي يو-12 بايفواي 2 أمريكية الصنع. أصدر الفريق المشترك لتقييم الحوادث بشأن حادثة استهداف القاعة الكبرى بمدينة صنعاء يوم السبت 15 أكتوبر، بياناً ورد فيه أن جهة في الجيش اليمني قدمت معلومة مغلوطة بوجود قيادات حوثية مسلحة داخل القاعة، وأن مركز توجيه العمليات في اليمن أجاز الغارة دون إذن قيادة التحالف.

  • The Sanaa funeral airstrike took place on the afternoon of 8 October 2016 when 155 people were killed and at least 525 more wounded when two airstrikes, about three to eight minutes apart, hit the packed Al Kubra hall in Sanaa, Yemen during a funeral. The attack was the deadliest single bombing in the then-two year long Yemeni civil war. The funeral was being held for the father of former interior minister Jalal al-Rowaishan. Sanaa mayor Abdel Qader Hilal was reportedly among those killed. The Saudi-led coalition initially denied responsibility but then took responsibility and put the blame on information given by the Yemeni government. The United Nations alleged that the Saudi-led coalition had violated international humanitarian law because the bombing was a 'double tap' attack, or a type of airstrike where the first bombing is followed by a second one soon after, with the aim of targeting the wounded, aid workers, and medical personnel tending to them. The UN report said: "The second air strike, which occurred three to eight minutes after the first air strike, almost certainly resulted in more casualties to the already wounded and the first responders." Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said that his government was being careful to abide by humanitarian law; however, it stated that its strike on the funeral hall was based on "incorrect information" given to them by the Yemeni government and that it had been carried out without authorization. Human Rights Watch identified the munitions used in the airstrike as 500 pound laser-guided bombs manufactured by the United States, and called on the U.S. to suspend arms sales to Saudi Arabia. (en)
