Human Rights Watch's March 7 investigation called the February 28 attack on Minab's Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School unlawful and said it should be investigated as a war crime. Researcher Sophia Jones called for examining whether those responsible should have known the school was occupied. The report had not conclusively attributed the strike to the United States or Israel.
