Three strikes in September all in the capital resulted in more than 100 civilian casualties in each incident. Eight strikes in the capital in September marked the heaviest month of bombing in the city since US strikes ended in May and the highest number in Yemen’s capital by Israel in any month.
The rate of civilian harm in Israeli strikes remains unprecedented.
In Trump's bombing campaign earlier this year the average was 2.07 civilian casualties per strike. In seven years of Saudi-led air raids the rate was 0.76.
In September, the average surged to over 32 civilian casualties per strike.
