@Galamore: why did you remove the perpetrator of the occupation in the opening paragraph? And why did you add “counterterrorism” POV to it? And why did you add an entire POV paragraph sourced to Israeli websites? Makeandtoss (talk) 20:00, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since when do we discriminate against reliable sources based on their country of origin? Should we stop using Al Jazeera as well? And by the way, counterterrorism label seems to be supported by multiple reliable sources. ABHammad (talk) 06:44, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since the existence of the conflict of interest principle. Calling ToI, Ynet and JP, which rely extensively and almost exclusively on Israeli military statements, are not to be considered reliable sources by any reasonable standard. Makeandtoss (talk) 08:49, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like someone invented a new rule. If these ssources undergo rigorous fact-checking they should not be judged solely on their country of origin. Meanwhile, I see a liberal use of Al Jazeera, which, according to our policy, many on Wikipedia recognize as a biased source on the Arab-Israeli conflict. ABHammad (talk) 04:33, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AJ is green at RSN and was snow closed in a recent RFC as reliable for the IP conflict so its reliability is not in question. AJ is also not a "side" in the conflict, which Israel is, so it would be better if there were at least one non Israeli source, do you have one? Selfstudier (talk) 09:17, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is biased but reliable, and in the case of this war (with focus on Gaza) it is the only source to be used given the lack of other outlet’s boots on the ground within the region The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 09:23, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Rigorous fact checking" like when JP claimed a dead Palestinian girl was a doll, or when ToI laundered for months the Hamas HQ below Al-Shifa lie. No one is judging them on their country of origin, a classic accusation to stifle any criticism of Israel; Haaretz is considered a reliable source on WP and I would not object to it being referenced here. AJ is reliable per WP. So please, do not make any further false claims beyond these two just debunked ones. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:14, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Terror

The PIJ named their operation Horror of the Camps رعب المخيمات, not Terror of the Camps; Al Mayadeen, and particularly Ro'ya's lousy churnalism, are not reliable sources in any aspect, whether related or unrelated to the conflict. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:34, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not direct translations but both can work, رعب is horror, رهب is terror The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 05:27, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"The Israeli operation came about following a failed suicide bombing in Tel Aviv by a Hamas operative, and calls by Hamas for the renewel of suicide attacks."

"Renewel", seriously? If you're going to write propaganda, at least spell it right. 21fafs (talk) 16:44, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the spelling and tagged for possible synth, however please properly present edit requests in future and avoid making speeches. Selfstudier (talk) 17:42, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 30 August 2024

This edit request to 2024 Israeli military operation in the northern West Bank has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

"Terror of the Camps" to "Horror of the Camps" per WP:ALMAYADEEN and WP:TERRORIST.

Another argument for "Horror" is that it is the classical translation of «رعب» and my reference for that is the Arabic version Wikipedia articles titles that contain "Horror" in their english version. "Terror" is usually the classical translation for «إرهاب» — 🧀Cheesedealer ^!!!⚟ 17:52, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done It has been done already, so I'll just mark this done. Ilovefood123123 (talk) 10:18, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Current event tag

Self-explanatory but for the sake of completeness: this is an ongoing conflict of total duration so far <48h. The tag really should have been placed there from the outset. AllPurposeScientist^blah 17:58, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AllPurposeScientist: The tag really should have been placed there from the outset It was and was subsequently removed because not many editors are editing/commenting, still the case so Idk why you have restored it. Selfstudier (talk) 18:03, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding of the current event tag was to warn users that the article may not be current. If nobody is making new contributions then all the more reason to add it until an appropriate amount of time has passed, then revisit as a draft, stub, or merge.

2024 Israeli military operation in the northern West Bank → 2024 Israeli military operation in the West Bank – While the invasion of the West Bank was initially mainly in the North, it is has now spread to the entirety of the region. As @The Great Mule of Eupatoria map shows, and as various sources are beginning to report (https://www.timesofisrael.com/3-killed-in-southern-west-bank-shooting-attack-idf-pursuing-gunmen/) (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/01/world/middleeast/israel-west-bank-police.html) the incursion is now also in Hebron in the south. These sources connect the latest attack to the wider invasion of the West Bank. Genabab (talk) 13:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support there has been recent activity in Hebron which is in the south, just today there was resistance targeting three Israeli security forces in the city and it has expanded operations there

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/least-two-israelis-killed-west-bank-shooting-attack-medics-say-2024-09-01/

my only suggestion is: should it be operation or invasion? I’m not sure if it’s large enough to be considered as the latter but it is larger scale than previous raids The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 15:07, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious support but first, I think the revert by @Galamore: of my move that removed "northern" was unwarranted; can you support your claim by providing evidence showing how RS titles have used "northern" first? Makeandtoss (talk) 13:43, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Should be uncontroversial. The current title is WP:OVERPRECISE regardless, but as others have said, there is also fighting in the southern part of the West Bank. Gödel2200 (talk) 15:09, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support as more concise and with "northern" being somewhat unnecessary. Moreover, operations have begun in the south now, so it's moved on. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:29, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request for infobox casualty figure

This edit request to 2024 Israeli military operation in the northern West Bank has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The number of confirmed terrorists/insurgents killed is out of date and should be updated in the infobox. According to one of the most recent reports by the ISW, "Hamas stated that Israeli forces have killed at least 30 Palestinian fighters in the West Bank since August 28..."

Source: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/iran-update-september-3-2024 (see paragraph in section on West Bank) Nathan1223 (talk) 07:48, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Bunnypranav (talk) 14:50, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I included the source above. Please change "At least 14 insurgents killed" to "At least 30 insurgents killed" under the Casualties and Losses section of the infobox. Thank you. Nathan1223 (talk) 15:04, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
