The attack killed 160 children and five staff, according to UN experts.Some websites and social media accounts linked to Israel claimed the site was “part of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base”.An analysis by Al Jazeera’s digital investigations unit of satellite imagery compiled over more than a decade, as well as recent video clips, published news reports and statements from official Iranian sources, has revealed that the school had been clearly separate from an adjacent military site for at least 10 years.The investigation also showed that the strike pattern raises fundamental questions about the accuracy of intelligence information on which the bombing was based. The findings may even raise questions about whether the strike was a deliberate targeting of the school.Amid scrutiny over the incident, the US acknowledged its military was investigating it. The Reuters news agency reported, quoting two US officials, that US military investigators believed it was likely that US forces were responsible for the apparent strike, but had not yet reached a final conclusion.
