🎒 Students are civilians. ✏️ Teachers are too. 🏫 Schools are civilian buildings. All of them are protected by the rules of war. Even when schools are used for military purposes, international humanitarian law (IHL) still requires armed actors to take all feasible precautions prior to attack, to avoid or minimize incidental harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure. Even wars have limits. Always.
