“Eleven civilians died after Israel’s air raid on the settlement of Sir al-Gharbiya in Lebanon’s southern Nabatieh province, the country’s health ministry said.”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result explicitly matches the claim word-for-word, attributing it to Lebanon's health ministry. However, other search results for the same event provide different casualty numbers (e.g., 'ten lives' in another source), and there are not two independent sources confirming the specific number of 11 civilians.
