A Morning That Turned to Ash: Children Lost in the Crossfire

A Morning That Turned to Ash: Children Lost in the Crossfire
What began as an ordinary school day ended in unimaginable tragedy. In southern Iran, a strike hit a girls’ elementary school, killing dozens, according to health officials and state media. Small backpacks lay scattered in dust and smoke — silent witnesses to lives interrupted too soon.

The attack came as U.S. and Israeli warplanes launched operations across the country. It was the start of the workweek. Parents had just kissed their daughters goodbye. Within moments, explosions shattered the morning calm.

Behind every number is a name. A dream. A family waiting at the school gate.
In war, the deepest wounds are carried not by soldiers — but by children who never chose the battlefield.
