Five female students were killed in an elementary school in Iran following missile strikes by Israel and the United States, Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency has reported.
Al Jazeera reports that the girls’ elementary school is located in Minab, a city located in the Hormozgan province of Southern Iran.
Retaliatory strikes by Iran damaged a nine-story building in northern Israel, leaving a man with minor injuries.
Al Jazeera quotes Israel’s Channel 12 as stating that the Iranian missiles were intercepted, but shrapnel hit the building and injured the man.
