GoKawiilPentagon probe ties AI targeting system to deadly Iran school strike
A Bloomberg report citing Pentagon investigators found that the February 28 double-tap strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' school, which killed over 150 people including at least 123 children, resulted from outdated intelligence compounded by heavy reliance on an AI targeting system. Investigators described the tragedy as a cascade of small errors rather than a single mistake, involving technology similar to systems used to fast-track thousands of strikes earlier in the war.
