Some 175 girls and school staff were killed in the attack on the first day of the war, according to Iran's UN ambassador.

In the US, Senate Democrats have signed a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calling for a swift investigation into the school strike and any other potential US military actions which may have injured or killed civilians.

The Pentagon has maintained the position that the US does not intentionally target civilians and is investigating the school attack.

President Trump's response, however, has changed over time.

Idris says in addition to the two sources who told Reuters that the U.S.

may have been using this outdated targeting information in this attack, Reuters journalists have also been looking at location data.

In a Reuters exclusive, US intelligence assessments indicate Iran's leadership remains largely intact and in control, nearly two weeks into the sustained US and Israeli strikes.

One source who Reuters spoke to said a multitude of intelligence reports conclude that there is no immediate risk of the government collapsing, despite the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior figures.

intelligence findings.

The intel underscores how difficult it may be for Washington to find an off-ramp and comes as the Trump administration gives Congress an initial price tag for the war.

A source says officials put the cost of just the first six days at over $11 billion.

Overnight, explosions rocked Beirut's southern suburbs as Israel continues to target Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.

That widening of the war has now displaced some 800,000 people, according to Lebanese officials.

That's over a tenth of Lebanon's entire population.

Those who fled describe gruelling journeys.

like Ali Ali, who fled from southern Lebanon to Sidon.

He says the journey took him 18 hours on the road, without breaks for food or rest.
