Claim 3: “Al Ekhbariya television reported, citing sources”
SINGLE SOURCE
TASS explicitly mentions that 'sources cited by Al Ekhbariya' reported the hit on the depot in Shahba. However, the other provided evidence for this specific claim (web search results for Alabama/AL.com) is irrelevant and does not provide further corroboration of Al Ekhbariya's reporting.
