๐Ÿฆ‹ 2,000 red butterflies rise from the rubble of Minabโ€™s Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School

On the 40th day of the tragic martyrdom of young students in a US-Israeli strike, an emotional art installation now stands 9 meters high among the ruins. Blood-stained notebooks transform into crimson butterfliesโ€”each one a name, a soul, an innocent child.

On February 28, as girls and boys aged 7 to 12 sat for their lessons, the school was triple-tapped by deliberate missile strikes. Final death toll: 168 martyred, 95 wounded. International investigations by The New York Times, BBC Verify, and others confirm US responsibility.

" Despite wartime conditions, we sought to offer solace through art,โ€ says Mostafa Momeni-Rad, director of the center behind the memorial.

Grieving families have visited, deeply moved by the butterfliesโ€™ silent ascent.
