In the Iranian city of Arak, a three-day-old newborn and its two-year-old sister were killed in a US-Israeli attack on a family home. Their mother and grandmother also lost their lives alongside them. The attack is one example of a growing number of civilian casualties in areas far from military targets. According to Iran's Ministry of Health, more than 10,000 civilian facilities have been damaged since the start of the war, including 65 schools and 32 healthcare facilities. Al Jazeera ↗
Meanwhile, Amnesty International published a report confirming that the American attack on an elementary school in the city of Minab killed at least 170 people, mostly schoolgirls. The attack on the school became one of the most controversial moments of the war — the Pentagon initially denied it and later announced an internal investigation. Al Jazeera ↗ NPR ↗
