“Irish activist Caitriona Graham, who was filmed being dragged by her hair and forced to the ground by Israeli forces”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result explicitly describes Caitríona Graham from Co. Wicklow being caught on video being dragged to the ground by her head while shouting 'free Palestine'. However, the other two provided search results for this claim discuss general detentions of Irish activists without mentioning her specifically or the hair-dragging incident, meaning there is only one specific source confirming the detail.
