To be fair, the school was next to a military base. The United States has hundreds of schools literally ON military installations in some places.
Is that still human shield adjacent behavior?
The strike on the school also occurred on the very first day of the surprise military action, so ascribing it as some premeditated attempt to use children as a human shield seems a bit disingenuous tbh.
