Verification

Corroborated: 2 independent sources.

Sources disagree on:

• Middle East Eye, citing Gaza medical sources, gives six killed since dawn on Saturday, while Haaretz reports at least eight killed, including two children; the two death tolls differ for the Gaza Strip.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.

Not corroborated by a second origin: target, killed.

Not stated in any report: time.

The disagreements listed under Verification are written by the automated review; this table is computed by rules, so the two lists can differ.
