At least 85 students killed in Israeli strike on Iranian girls' school

Minab/Tehran (Web Desk): Tensions between Iran and Israel in the Middle East have taken a tragic turn, resulting in significant civilian casualties.

According to reports, the Israeli Air Force targeted a girls’ high school in the city of Minab, southern Iran, in a strike that claimed the lives of at least 85 innocent students. The attack occurred while classes were ongoing, raising serious concerns that the death toll could rise further as rescue operations continue.

Local sources and news agencies confirmed that the school was fully operational at the time of the strike, with staff and students present, highlighting the human cost of the escalating conflict between the two countries. Emergency responders rushed to the site, but access was reportedly complicated by the destruction caused by the airstrike.

This incident represents a sharp escalation in the ongoing hostilities between Iran and Israel, underscoring the vulnerability of civilians in conflict zones. International observers have expressed alarm at the attack on an educational institution, emphasizing that targeting schools constitutes a severe violation of humanitarian norms.

Iranian authorities have condemned the strike, calling it a blatant attack on innocent children and promising a strong response. The event adds to the growing cycle of violence in the region, which has already seen repeated missile and drone exchanges in recent weeks.

Human rights organizations and global leaders have urged restraint from both sides and called for immediate protection of civilians, especially students and schools, as the crisis continues to unfold.
