The compound was a medical faciity operated by the IRGC. The school was adjacent The compound was hit, by missiles, and when further "human movement" was detected a decision was taken to strike the school. That the intelligence was old is not an excuse. It is rather confirmation that the US enthusiasm for killing disregards the basic tenets of the Laws of Armed Conflict. "The intelligence was old" is not an excuse, if the intelligence was unsure then you should not have struck the compound, especially as it was in an area inhabited by civilians. T o strike a second time because you detected human movements is savage. Imagine if the Walter Reid Military Hospital in Maryland was rocketed, and then an adjacent school was hit because "human movement was detected". Would you excuse it? Of course not, you would be shouting blue murder! I agree with @stevenl, your post is one of the worst I have seen, a callous attempt to brush away a savage and merciless crime. The US has the most advanced and technologically expert military force on the planet. Unfortunatly their targetting procedures for all that technology are sadly lacking, careless and frankly incompetent. You should be ashamed, thoroughly ashamed, of yourself for even suggesting it could be justified. And you know the real tragedy? No need for the whole bloody business at all, it is just to distract from the filthy scandal your "leader" has found his past perverted tastes have embroiled him in! Let's not beat about the bush, those children, and heaven knows how many others, have died because Trump has been caught <deleted> little girls, and this is to distract from that. Vile, inhuman, and the US military has allowed itself to be brought in on it! Shame.
