"Saturday's strike came on the first day of the joint US and Israeli attacks on Iran. It was the deadliest incident in the campaign against Tehran so far. The Israeli military said it was not aware of any Israeli or US attacks in that area."
"Deliberately attacking an educational institution, hospital or any other civilian structure is a war crime under international humanitarian law. On Monday, Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the two countries continue to indiscriminately strike residential areas, sparing neither hospitals, schools, Red Crescent facilities, nor cultural monuments."
"Throughout its genocidal war on Gaza, however, Israel has repeatedly denied responsibility for deadly attacks on Palestinian civilians, only to later backtrack when evidence emerged, often describing such incidents as accidental."
A US-Israeli attack on a girls school in Minab, southern Iran, resulted in 165 deaths among schoolgirls and staff during a mass funeral held by Iran. This strike occurred on the first day of joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran and represents the deadliest incident in the campaign against Tehran. The Israeli military denied awareness of any Israeli or US attacks in the area. Deliberately attacking educational institutions constitutes a war crime under international humanitarian law. UNESCO and Nobel Peace Prize-winning activist Malala Yousafzai condemned the attack. Iran's Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman stated that both countries continue indiscriminately striking residential areas, including hospitals, schools, and cultural monuments.
