Verification
Disputed: 2 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Al Manar's 18:18 UTC item places Israeli artillery fire near Maifadoun, while @ME_Observer_'s item at about the same time places the artillery shelling at Zawtar al-Sharqiya.
- Al Manar's 21:16 UTC item describes machine-gun sweeping fire near Zawtar al-Sharqiya, not artillery, so the weapon type differs from the @ME_Observer_ report and from Al Manar's own Maifadoun item.
- The two Al Manar items are the same outlet's reports, so the disagreement is between that outlet and @ME_Observer_ on location and weapon, not between independent sources.
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.
