The Ministry of Defence (MOD) monitors and analyses incidents of alleged International Humanitarian Law violations, such as the eight incidents referred to, using all available information. Details of the MOD's analysis of these allegations are necessarily confidential. It is for the Saudi-led Coalition to investigate such incidents, as they have done through the Joint Incidents Assessment Team.
