At least 85 killed in missile attack on Iran girl's school

TEHRAN, Feb 28: An Israeli strike has hit an elementary girls' school in Minab, a city in the Hormozgan province of southern Iran, killing at least 85 people, state media reported, as the immediate civilian cost from Israel and the United States' huge bombardment of Iran comes into sharper focus.

Iran's Mehr news agency also reported that at least two students were killed by an Israeli attack that hit a school east of the capital, Tehran.

Reporting from Tehran, Al Jazeera's Mohammed Vall said of the attack on the girls' school, "There are new reports confirming the number of people killed in that strike has now gone above 85. That's a civilian target, and that's one of the targets that might really become problematic with regards to this campaign by the Americans and the Israelis, who are saying that they are targeting only military targets and they are trying to punish the regime, not the people of Iran.
