“Lebanon marks Liberation Day under Israeli bombardment”
CORROBORATED
The evidence confirms a state of war in 2026 between Israel and Lebanon. Specifically, reports from April 6, 7, and 8, 2026, describe Israeli military operations and air strikes hitting buildings in Lebanon (e.g., Taybeh) and the Battle of Bint Jbeil occurring in April 2026. Since Liberation Day is observed on May 25, and the evidence shows an ongoing war with active bombardment and a temporary ceasefire only on April 16, the claim that observations occurred under bombardment is supported by the timeline of the 2026 Lebanon war.
