Claim 2: “millions of Lebanese remain displaced from their homes amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hezbollah”
MISLEADING
The claim states 'millions' are displaced. However, multiple web search results specifically quantify the displacement at '1.2 million'. While 1.2 million is a large number, it is not 'millions' (plural), making the phrasing an exaggeration of the specific data provided by the Lebanese government and reporting sources.
