> It was obviously an error because the building used to be a military facility
It is obvious to you because you want to believe it. It is not obvious to me at all. Here are my reasons.
I find it very hard to believe that they have not updated their map in the last 10-15 year of a country that (i) both the US and Israel have been itching to bomb for multiple decades and (ii) is riddled with HUMINT.
Israel's history of knowingly bombing schools in the past (in Egypt) certainly does not help the case.

The pilot later went on to claim that this was deliberate.
April 1970, Israeli Phantom
fighter jets bombed the Bahr
al-Baqar elementary school in
Egypt’s Sharqia governorate,
killing 46 children out of 130
who were in their classrooms
that morning.
Israel claimed the school was
an Egyptian military facility,
and Defense Minister Moshe
Dayan said at the time that
“the Egyptians may have put
elementary school pupils in
a military base".
But an Israeli pilot who took
part in the raid and was
captured during the
October 1973 war later
revealed it had been a
deliberate attack and that
they knew it was merely a
school.
Given the repetition, it smells target selection policy to me rather than an accident.
These kids would have been kids of IRGC personnel. Likely that was the reason.
