It wasn't intentional; the building was used by the military years before. The US had really badly out-of-date intelligence and was negligent in updating it. There's absolutely no military benefit to bombing a girl's school.

Israel has hit schools before knowing full well that it's a school (in war against Egypt). May well be policy.

Many of these kids would have been kids of IRGC. Likely that was the reason.

Objection. For a hypothetical actor wanting to set the world economy on fire there might be a benefit of enraging the enemy to lower the risk of early deescalation.
