Date notation not consistent
[edit]While reading through this article I noticed that at different points there are different notations in use for dates; it appears that both the BCE/CE notation and BC/AD notation are used at different points. It would be best to get this all switched to one notation (I would prefer the BCE/CE myself but I will leave that up to the discretion of someone with enough access to edit this).

This article has been vandelised
[edit]And since it is locked, I can only assume that the vandall either hacked it, or is someone with the power to edit it that misused this power. 2A02:14F:1F7:537B:0:0:4F25:E624 (talk) 04:20, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

The opening lead sentence that says "to the east and the Israeli-occupied West Bank to the west and Israel to the southwest." should use a comma rather than a redundant and (one "and" at the end of sentence is enough), like this (change in bold): "...to the east, the Israeli-occupied West Bank to the west and Israel to the southwest."--Steven Homan (talk) 00:15, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Done, appreciate the catch! Kingsmasher678 (talk) 01:36, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
