A/HRC/42/CRP.1 The findings of these cases, as well as on the death of two activists assisting families on the frontlines, are detailed below. 329. The Group of Experts documented the killing of two local activists on 8 February 2018 who were assisting families living close to the frontlines, Reham Badr al-Sobhani, and Mu’min Sa’eed Hammoud Rissam. Both were killed in Saleh district as a result of apparent indiscriminate fire from a medium-heavy sized weapon fired from a Houthi position,487 possibly an anti-aircraft round.488 Reham was a high profile activist in Ta’izz and also a field monitor for the National Commission of Inquiry. 330. On 28 April 2019, a rocket landed on a home in Jabel Habashi district, killing five female members of an extended family (two women and three girls), and injuring three girls aged three, four and 12. A family relative living nearby heard a rocket pass over his house that morning after the dawn prayer and thought it had landed in a field as he saw a lot of dust. When he reached the house, he said he saw dead bodies and could “hear the agony of his relatives”.489 He tried to remove the dead bodies and managed to recover one of the injured young girls.490 The rocket was believed to have been fired by Houthis from their position in al-Kadha area,491 which is located on the western side of Ta’izz city.492 In another incident, on Tuesday 4 June 2019, at approximately 06:30 hrs, on the morning of ‘Eid al-Fitr, a rocket killed a six-year-old girl and injured six other children (four boys and two girls).493 The children were walking from al-Asaab village to al-Qardain village, located in the district of al-Misrakh through a cemetery, when the rocket landed and exploded. "[W]e were going to prayer; we were near the place and surprised by 2 rockets. We saw the smoke and fire and saw children escaping the incident and saw some people assisting the child. We went to the scene to help and rescue the children."494 It was understood that the Houthis fired the rocket from their positions in al-Hawban, east of Ta’izz city.495 331. On 2 June 2019, at approximately 03:30 hrs, a bullet fired by a sniper believed to be a Houthi fighter hit a 12-year old girl. The bullet penetrated her grandfather’s house in the district of al-Mudhaffar, west of Ta’izz city. She subsequently died from her injuries on 7 June 2019.496 She was having Suhoor, the second evening meal during Ramadan, with her grandparents and aunt on the ground floor of her grandparents' house, which is located on 30th Street, near the old airport, an area close to the frontlines. 497 This area had been subject to intense confrontations during the night.498 The bullet entered through the small metal window of the front of the house and then exited through the door into the space/salon where the family was eating and hit the girl in her neck.499 The sniper appears to have fired a single round rather than a burst of small arms fire as no other bullets were reported to have pierced the house. 332.
