It’s just heartbreaking to think of those poor children and teachers. No matter who is fighting or why, a school should be a sanctuary. I appreciate Sky News digging into this to get some real answers for the families. We can't let these tragedies just fade into the background of the news cycle. God bless them all.

Truly and utterly horrific, the longer our governments continue to trade with Israel more innocent civilians will be killed.

Full agree this needs to be thorougly investiagted. But until then, these videos just try and push an Anti Trump narritive.

Heartbreaking, sure, but let's be real, Mara—international "action" usually means a strongly worded letter while nothing actually changes. I doubt anyone is actually getting held accountable here.

It is absolutely heartbreaking to see the loss of so many children and teachers in Minab. The scale of this tragedy is just devastating. Thank you for sharing this investigation. Do you think enough is being done internationally to hold those responsible accountable?

The school was mistakenly included in a U.S. military targeting package because Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) records relied on outdated data from prior to 2016. Although U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) officials later claimed the school was on an "active missile site," independent analysts, journalists, and satellite imagery confirmed it had long functioned purely as a civilian facility.
