According to Shiva Amelirad, the school building previously served as the command headquarters of this IRGC compound before being converted into a school several years ago. People are visible in front of the school building, and the grounds and walls appear to have updated painting since September 2024. Analysis of satellite imagery on 2 and 4 March shows destruction at the site of the school and IRGC compound. The school building is around 74 metres from the nearest structure targeted in the adjacent IRGC compound. Videos from the scene show distinctive pancaking of the roof, evidence of a top-down air strike, affecting much of the school building.
