Claim 2: “arresting more than 22 Palestinians”
MISLEADING
The claim states 'more than 22 Palestinians' were arrested. However, two independent sources specifically state that '22 Palestinians' were arrested (not 'more than 22'). While the number is accurate, the phrasing 'more than' is technically contradicted by the specific count of 22 provided by the Israeli military and local media.
