It is, Reuters debunked that they targeted the consulate. I swear why the fuck do the fucking Americans want to drag NATO back into the middle east…again…? There’s a war on the EU’s border rn as we speak

Because fear feeds the clicks that make money, and reporters need to get the story out first and foremost.

Facts be damned.

The headline says "near". I'm not sure there's anything suggesting they targetted them. At the same time targetted doesn't matter much. If people were killed in the consulate, the result would probably have been the same as if they were targetted.
