"The missile hit during the school's morning session. In Iran, the school week runs from Saturday to Thursday, so when US and Israeli bombs began falling at around 10am on Saturday, classes were under way. At a point between 10am and 10.45am, a missile directly hit Shajareh Tayyebeh school, in Minab, southern Iran, demolishing its concrete building and killing dozens of seven to 12-year-old girls."
"Photographs and verified videos from the site, which the Guardian has not published due to their graphic nature, show children's bodies lying partly buried under the debris. In one video, a very small child's severed arm is pulled from the rubble. Colourful backpacks covered with blood and concrete dust sit among the ruins."
"These are the schoolbooks of the children who are under these ruins, under this rubble here, he shouts. You can see the blood of these children on these books. These are civilians, who are not in the military. This was a school and they came to study."
