Claim 8: “The attack — which involved about four waves of a total of 10 missiles in northern Israel in under an hour”
DISPUTED
The claim specifies 'about four waves of a total of 10 missiles'. However, web results provide conflicting numbers: one source mentions 'fives waves' and 'almost 200 ballistic missiles' on a Tuesday, while another mentions 'about 300 missiles and drones' in April. There is no specific source confirming exactly 10 missiles in 4 waves on a Sunday.
