Claim 2: “A series of Israeli strikes on vehicles in Lebanon killed at least 12 people”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources report Israeli strikes on vehicles in Lebanon resulting in deaths. One source specifically mentions drone strikes on vehicles south of Beirut killing four, while another mentions a series of airstrikes killing at least 13. Combined with reports of 'at least 12 people' killed, the factual core of the claim is supported by multiple independent web search results.

Claim 3: “a day before new US-mediated negotiations between Lebanon and Israel in Washington”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources (France 24, ABC listen, and other web search results) confirm that US-mediated talks between Lebanese and Israeli representatives were scheduled and took place in Washington. The timing relative to the strikes is consistent with the reporting of these events occurring in the same window.
