“Thirty-two people died and 74 were injured after Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon during the past day”
DISPUTED
The claim states 32 deaths and 74 injuries. However, the provided evidence reports significantly lower numbers: one source mentions 'seven killed' and another mentions 'at least 5 civilians' killed. There is a direct contradiction in the casualty figures provided by the evidence versus the claim.
