“Palestinians mark 78 years since Nakba”
DISPUTED
The claim states Palestinians are marking the 78th anniversary. However, multiple live web search results (France 24 and Google News) explicitly state that Palestinians are commemorating the 77th anniversary of the Nakba. Since the Nakba occurred in 1948, the 77th anniversary is the current milestone (2025), making the claim of the 78th anniversary factually incorrect based on the provided evidence.

“Palestinians rally in Khan Yunis to mark the Nakba”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The evidence provided for this claim is irrelevant. The web search results refer to 'Rally Health', 'Rally.TV' (racing), and 'Ridge Rally', which are unrelated to political rallies. While Wikipedia confirms Khan Yunis is a city in Gaza, there is no evidence in the provided text confirming that a specific rally took place there to mark the Nakba.
