No it was widely described as a terrorist attack and still is.

Yeh whatever my point is it was widely described as terrorism . It can still be described as an incident regardless . Or series of incidents. If you look up what an incident actually means in the dictionary. I have to say, this thread has gone to the dogs altogether

RichardOnslowRoper · 04/03/2026 15:27

Pete Hegseth says the US is investigating to find out who was responsible for the school bombing.

Maybe it is you that needs to work on your English. Per the Oxford English Dictionary.

Incident: An occurrence or event viewed as a separate circumstance.

Are you saying the police are wrong in referring major incident responses? A terrorist incident ranks above a major incident.

Please see @Twiglets1 15.08
7/10 has never been called an incident!

Surely the key word here is terrorist. The rest is semantics.

It was widely described as a terrorist incident at the time. Are you actually for real ?

Are you for real?

No one called the invasion of Israel on October 7 and ensuring massacres "an incident". Well, no one who wasn't trying to minimise it as per the poster who said it.

No one called 9/11 "an incident"

Yes, police describe something as an incident when it's ongoing precisely because they're not ready to share or dont yet know what's going on.

Yes let's trust the alcoholic sex offender who doesn't know how to text people correctly, that will be the path to truth.

sabababa · 04/03/2026 16:05

Anyway, if 7/10 was just an incident, then the last 2 years in Gaza were just a military incident as well. If it works for one, it works for the other.

The Israeli response to the terrorist incident was a military incident. Easy. Incident can cover anything, right?

Yes incident can cover any one off event. That is why we add terrorist to the worst ones. I'm not really sure that there is too much that is hard to understand here.

This is fairly standard terminology. List of major terrorist incidents - Wikipedia

Right. So 7/10 was an incident, 9/11 was an incident and the whole gaza conflict since was an incident.

And even using that Wikipedia link, 7/10 is listed as many different incidents. Not one. It wasn't "an incident " even by your Wikipedia source. Hth

The school’s location, the nearby smoke, and the timing of the bombing – in the first round of strikes by US and Israeli forces – all give credence to the assertion that the school was hit as part of a series of strikes by the US and Israel on or around the IRGC complex.

Thankyou

All these posters relying on twitter and TikTok.

yes there were reports Iran admitted to it. Those reports were false and propaganda as Iran declared they made no such declaration

Watch what you watch. X TikTok and Twitter etc are cesspits full of propaganda.

You still don’t seem to understand the meaning of the word incident. It doesn’t mean something trivial . Look it up in the dictionary. Seriously .

sabababa · 04/03/2026 14:32

You know that do you? Does it not fit your narrative?
I dont know what happened. The one with all the info is the Iranian regime who also blamed their massacre of unarmed protesters on Mossad....
An American mistake or an Iranian misfire. Both are entirely plausible given where the school is located.

You missed one out there !!!
American
Iranian
or Israeli…..you missed them !

Minab school and local area was given a warning to evacuate by US/Israel
because they intended to bomb the area ( which they did )

I was telling one poster to read @Twiglets1's post. No one suggests 'that she is the font of all knowledge' (wtf?) but 7/10 was a terrorist ATTACK, not a mere incident.

I looked at that post, as you’d referred it, assuming it would have some factual intelligence
but nothing

There's no point unless there’s referenced facts
it’s just a blind statement from a mumsnetter

I would describe the many many atrocities and human rights violations that Israel committed during that war as incidents when described separately yes . Not the whole war .

TheIceBear · 04/03/2026 17:25

@sabababa i don’t know why you are so keen to defend such disgusting evil. Hamas are bad but Israel are just as bad. What they did in Gaza was absolutely disgusting . Anyone standing up for them should be ashamed of themselves

Foggybottomblues · 04/03/2026 02:41

It is very sad but there is no evidence this was caused by US/. Israeli forces. The evidence points to a failed Iranian rocket launch.

Why is the Guardian reporting it as fact that the strike was a US/ Israeli strike on the school?

I agree with @sabababa. What Hamas did was evil and given half the chance are committed to do it again. Israel has no choice but to defend itself.
The shame belongs to Hamas who do nothing to protect their own civilians by providing safe places for them, keeping all their tunnels (built with funds supposed to be for the benefit of all Gazans!) to hide in together with their armoury ready to fire on Israelis.
