Parents who dropped off children at the Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school would have had little time to rush back.

Disturbing imagery circulated quickly on social media, initially distributed by Iranian state media and republished by news services. USA TODAY is not publishing many of those images because of the graphic nature of the content.

They show destroyed classrooms, bloodied backpacks and colorful school materials strewn across the site. Dust covering every surface. The remains of a playground, including a slide, were scattered amid mounds of concrete rubble. Children's bodies could be seen partly buried under the debris.

Iranian authorities said the strike killed up to 175 people, most of them elementary-school-aged girls. It may be the deadliest known mass casualty event involving civilians of the war so far, though USA TODAY could not independently verify many details about the incident including the exact death toll, the identities of those involved and who was responsible for the strike.
