“At least 13 people died and 30 were injured after Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon during the past day, despite the ceasefire that has been in force since April 17, the country’s health ministry said.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies a report from 'the country’s health ministry' regarding deaths and injuries from airstrikes on a specific day, despite a ceasefire. The provided evidence only contains general Wikipedia articles about past ceasefires or conflicts, but no specific, current reports from the Lebanese health ministry matching the details (13 deaths, 30 injuries, specific date/ceasefire context) to corroborate this claim. The web search results are general or relate to different incidents.

“"The overall death toll since the outbreak of the ongoing armed escalation on March 2 has climbed to 2,509, with 7,755 people being injured," it said in a statement posted on its X page.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim cites a specific total death toll (2,509) and injury count (7,755) from a statement posted on X by the Lebanese health ministry, referencing an escalation date of March 2. While multiple sources confirm ongoing conflicts and casualty reporting from the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) over time (e.g., web search results citing figures from Feb 2025 or general conflict reports), none of the provided evidence explicitly corroborates the exact cumulative figures (2,509 deaths, 7,755 injuries) tied to the specific start date of March 2 via multiple independent sources.

“The country’s interior ministry said earlier that Sunday’s Israeli attacks on the southern province of Nabatieh have forced a lot of people to flee their home for the country’s northern regions.”
CORROBORATED
The claim states the interior ministry reported that Israeli attacks on Nabatieh forced people to flee to northern regions. One web search result directly quotes 'The country’s interior ministry said earlier that Sunday’s Israeli attacks on the southern province of Nabatieh have forced a lot of people to flee their home for the country’s northern regions.' This is corroborated by other web search results detailing Israeli attacks in Nabatieh and subsequent civilian casualties/displacements, indicating this narrative is reported by multiple sources referencing the ministry's statements.
