What the sources establish
EL PAÍS reports from Tel Aviv that thousands gathered on October 24 for a rally organized by the October Council, with survivors, bereaved families and opposition politicians calling for an independent inquiry into the October 7, 2023 security failures. Al Jazeera and AFP, the Associated Press, and The Times of Israel separately report the rally and its central demand. These are independently produced reports; the organizers’ stated purpose is distinct from the reported fact that the event took place. Attendance estimates differ: EL PAÍS says tens of thousands, while AP and Al Jazeera say thousands, so the exact crowd size remains unresolved. The date is established, but the sources do not establish an exact start time. The coordinate is a representative city marker.
