Why do we assume it's intel failure, or ai usage?
1. The school was clearly a school. Damn even OpenStreetMap lists it as a school. 2. The other bombings were very precise. 3. This was a school for the families of military people.
US has a history of these types of barbaric terrorism on civilians. There should be full accountability for this targeted terrorism before anything else. Also why are we talking about AI usage like it's some sort of scapegoat, it never is and never in war.

The purpose of a system is what it does.
If you automate your intelligence, which they supposedly did, it becomes an automation failure as well. If Claude is grinding through their data, looking for hints and connecting the dots to designate the targets, it's definitely going to produce plausible false positives that are hard to verify quickly.
I'm dubious the degree to which they've actually automated their intel.
If it's anything like how my industry has 'adopted' AI, it means they've got a chatbot somewhere that no one actually uses. And a bunch of press releases.

Also, so much for 'no new wars'. I'm sure this one will go better than the last five wars we've started in the middle east.
