Claim 2: “At least 29 Lebanese nationals have been killed in the past 24 hours as a result of Israeli airstrikes on the country's south, the Lebanese Health Ministry said.”
DISPUTED
Multiple web search results provide wildly different death tolls for the 24-hour period. One source reports 78 killed, another reports 'at least one' killed, and the claim specifies 29. There is no consensus across the provided evidence to corroborate the specific number of 29.
