alt Hacker NewsThe girls school strike was followed up by a strike minutes later. Same spot. The girls school children was probably made up of the kids of IRGC members.
A strike on the girls school would attract IRGC members to it, who could be finished off with the second strike.
I think the attack was deliberate.

It would make sense, but minutes later? Did the IRGC brass break out the infamous FTL dirtbikes?

you are way to forgivining in how stupid the military is under current leadership.
This sounds like the same type of Israel apologism. "OK, well we kill a bunch of innocents, but they were related to all those evil people"

There've already been numerous postmortems published about what happened with the school strike.
The school was located on a former military base. 10 years ago, that location was a legit military target. Nobody bothered to update the satellite imagery from 2013 when feeding it into whatever LLM was assisting in targeting. It saw an airstrip and missile base. The human reviewing the targeting saw an airstrip and missile base. When you go to take out a military target, you don't send one missile. You send a missile or two in first, and then another couple in a few minutes later.
Hanlon's Razor very much applies here. There's no need to posit that the children were IRGC members or that the attack was deliberate or even that the children were the targets. There's a very obvious explanation, which is that nobody bothered to check the date and assumed that if it was military base in 2013 it was still a military base today.
