Killing is sad in general. However, typically when 2 countries to war, the lower class suffers the horrors of war, while the leaders have diplomatic meetings with the other sides leaders over steaks and caviari. If rather than going to war, the leaders were military targets themselves, it might encourage counties to avoid going to war.
Is the future, an is for everyone of us. Is a matter of time that this will be used in the country of the killer-drone makers whatever it will be. A place where every mobile phone user carry a drone beacon right now.
Asimov tried to avoid that, at least.

No discussion of what type of drone was used. I suspect it to be something like the ones mentioned in this report:

no, there is discussion (Iraqi news channels, will edit if I find text)
In a nutshell, the Irani-backed militias and their political parties did terrible in the elections and are now saying the results were fake and threatening war if a government is formed. The PM is seen as someone who isn't pro-iran so he is hated by them, however, it is possible he gets a second shot at being PM given the Sadr faction did very well and is open to having him come back so this is likely by them.
Also the types of the drones are ones that were known to be used by certain militias (Iraqi Branch of Hezbollah)
