Propaganda is flying around like crazy in this conflict and I think it's time for our community to come together and try to separate the truth from misinformation and chaff. Similar to my last post on the al-Ahli Hospital Massacre, we're going to go with the following format:

For other comments, please try to either prove or debunk claims using multiple sources and verifiable information.

Col. E., told Mako in a separate report
