Claim 1: “More than 2,000 have been killed as Israel’s invasion of Lebanon continues”
VERIFIED
The claim that more than 2,000 have been killed is supported by evidence stating that the offensive killed around 4,000 people in Lebanon. Another source mentions a death toll of 2,659 since March 2, both of which exceed the 'more than 2,000' threshold.
