Claim 2: “An 80-year-old man who survived Israel’s invasion of Lebanon decades ago has been pulled out from under the rubble of his house”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result directly corroborates that an 80-year-old man was pulled out from under the rubble of his house in southern Lebanon. However, another search result describes a different person ('Abu Ali') who died in the rubble, and a third result refers to an earthquake in China. Because only one distinct source confirms the specific rescue event described, it is classified as single_source.
