Summary
During the conflict with Iran, Israel did not target any civilian targets like hospitals, schools, or mosques. Why? Because Iranians don't allow the Islamic Republic to use civilian facilities for military or terrorist purposes. Unlike the Palestinians who use civilian targets in Gaza to launch ballistic missiles at Israel.

There's a very good reason why during the 12-day conflict with the Islamic Republic
00:00:08.100
occupying Iran, Israel did not target any hospitals, schools, or mosques.
00:00:12.760
While it's true that civilian facilities are protected from military attacks under the Geneva
00:00:17.480
Conventions, the Geneva Conventions also state that these civilian hospitals, schools, and
00:00:22.240
residential areas lose their protection if they are being used for military purposes,
00:00:27.200
Which basically means that if a hospital is being used by terrorists to launch attacks against Israel, that hospital becomes fair game.

So if you're wondering why civilian areas in occupied Iran were protected and weren't attacked by Israel,
00:00:41.880
it's because Iranians don't allow the Islamic Republic to use civilian facilities for military or terrorist purposes.
