What happened

Claim 1: “nearly two years of conflict between Israel and Hamas”

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

Wikipedia and web search results confirm the war began on 7 October 2023. Evidence from May 2026 (Wikipedia: Casualties of the Gaza war) indicates the conflict has been ongoing for approximately 2.5 years, making 'nearly two years' an understatement or a reference to a specific phase, but the timeline of the conflict is authoritative.

Claim 2: “a sheep that once cost about $100 before the war can now reach $10,000.”

DISPUTED

The claim states prices rose from $100 to $10,000. However, Al Jazeera reports a pre-war price of about $350 and current prices reaching approximately $6,000. Another source mentions prices over $5,000. The $10,000 figure is not supported by the provided evidence and contradicts the $6,000 figure reported by Al Jazeera.
