"Daughters who went to school came back as horrific corpses"...148 Iranian schoolgirls killed

The Financial News reported that the death toll has risen to 148 after a girls' elementary school in Iran collapsed under attacks by the United States and Israel.
On the 1st (local time), foreign media including Financial Times (FT) reported that authorities in Minab, Iran, gave a provisional count of 148 dead after Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School was destroyed by bombing the previous day. Another 95 people were seriously injured.
At about 10:45 a.m. local time on the 28th of last month, an elementary school attended by young girls came under bombardment.
The strike came just after the U.S. military and Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began their attacks on Iran.
Around 170 students were in class at the time. In Iran, Thursday and Friday are holidays, and Saturday is a school day.
Photos and videos released by local Iranian media and on social media show that roughly half of the two- to three-story school building had completely collapsed.
Rescue operations are underway in the ruins of the school, but with almost no heavy equipment available, people are moving chunks of concrete mostly with their bare hands.
As the bodies of young schoolgirls were recovered during the rescue, the site was filled with the anguished cries of parents searching for their daughters.
Schoolbags, textbooks, and other supplies used by the children were scattered throughout the bombing site.
The U.S. military and the IDF have not offered any specific explanation as to why the elementary school was bombed.
However, The Washington Post, citing an analysis of satellite imagery, reported that the school was located near what appeared to be an Iranian military facility.
At an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on the day of the airstrikes, the 28th of last month, Amir-Saeid Iravani, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, referred to the bombing of the elementary school and condemned it, saying, "The attacks by the United States and Israel are not merely acts of aggression but war crimes."
