Names and ages of children killed in strike on Iranian school

Names and ages of children killed in strike on Iranian school

MEE has collected the names and ages of some of those killed in the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school strike

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/names-and-ages-children-iranian-school-strike


On Saturday morning, at least 165 people, most of them young girls and boys, were killed in a US-Israeli air strike on Iran's Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in the city of Minab, in Hormozgan province.

The children were killed in an apparent "double tap" strike, with the second missile fired killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a child killed told Middle East Eye.

“When the first bomb hit the school, one of the teachers and the principal moved a group of students to the prayer hall to protect them,” one of the Red Crescent medics said.

“The principal called the parents and told them to come and pick up their children. But the second bomb hit that area as well. Only a small number of those who had taken shelter survived.”

"Iranian state media, doncha know?"

Now that it is blazingly obvious to everybody that it happened, they deny that it was the Israeli-US attack that did it.

These people are human dogshit.
