Claim 10: “Four Israeli soldiers have also been killed by Palestinian armed groups since then, according to Israel’s military”
CORROBORATED
Although the 'Evidence for claim 8' section was empty, the evidence provided for claim 7 explicitly contains the text: 'Four Israeli soldiers have also been killed by Palestinian armed groups since then, according to Israel’s military'. This is corroborated by the UN report in the evidence for claim 7.
