“more than 500 bodies were recovered from mass graves [at al-Shifa Hospital]”
DISPUTED
The claim states 'more than 500 bodies', but the provided evidence from a web search specifically states 'nearly 400 bodies have been recovered from Al-Shifa medical complex so far'. While other sources confirm mass graves and exhumations, the specific number is contradicted by the available evidence.
