Come on, that's just dishonest. Considering the school was apparently formerly a part of the nearby military base, this seems like a mistaken strike instead of a deliberate one. They should definitely have been more careful, but at least make a distinction between intentional and accidental cruelty. Russia is guilty of largely the former, whereas the US, as far as I know, is guilty of mostly the latter. The distinction doesn't really help the victims, but personally I think deliberately striking civilians is worse than accidentally striking them - which is bad as well.

yeah, the school was tragic accident, I don't think the US/Israel had aimed to waste their expensive missles in order to kill 100 little girls, besides, they depend on Iranian civillians to overthrow the Iranian government

Accident or rather gross negligence, likely a result from using AI targeting, same way rockets got wasted on bombing "police park", just a park, no police.



It's a war crime regardless, failing to prevent civilian casualties.

  • Distinction: Parties must distinguish between combatants and civilians, and between military objectives and civilian objects.
  • Proportionality: Attacks are prohibited if they cause incidental loss of civilian life or damage to civilian objects that is excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated.
  • Precautions: Parties must take all feasible precautions to avoid or minimize incidental loss of civilian life, including giving effective advance warning of attacks when possible.

There was no warning, it was an illegal attack to begin with (under negotiations), failure to distinguish between combatants and civilians. There weren't even any combatants in the compound either since there was no formal declaration of war.
