Can everyone stop saying "x people died in the airstrike" or "y people were killed in the airstrike". People die or are killed in tragic accidents. People are murdered when other people deliberately cause the death of others.

My phone's spellchecker allows "#usa" but insists israel should be capitalised, even when it is part of a hashtag with an # prefixing the word

Footage further points to US airstrike in Iran school blast

The investigative group Bellingcat says newly released video “appears to contradict” U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that Iran was responsible for an explosion at an Iranian school that killed over 165 people. The video shared by Bellingcat is a three-second clip of a video on the day the school was struck, circulated Sunday by Iran’s semiofficial Mehr news agency. The video shows a munition falling on a building. A Bellingcat researcher identified the munition as a Tomahawk cruise missile — which only the U.S. is known to possess in this war.
