Casualties and losses on Israel's side

The article states that according to Hezbollah, there are more than 2,000 casualties on Israel's side using this source for the claim. This is of course false and is Hezbollah's propaganda. This claim should be deleted. HiyoriX (talk) 13:17, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

This is why it says “Hezbollah claim” as it is the party claiming this casualty toll The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 14:55, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Islamic Azz Brigades as a unit of Hezbollah?

I'm a bit conflicted on whether "Islamic Azz Brigades" should be moved as a unit of Hezbollah. The group was completely unknown/likely never existed prior to the conflict and most scholars believe that it is a Hezbollah front organization (granting them some form of plausible deniability). It also doesn't appear to have been active for more than a few days, so it might make sense to remove them all together. RisingTzar (talk) 09:27, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

hospital went Underground

"The massive shooting at the northern places at Israel leads to dramatic changes in the operating model of the hospitals from Haifa and the north. The Ministry of Health informed this morning (Sunday) that the Rambam Hospital is moving to work in the hospital's secured parking lot. The Carmel, Ziv, Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, the Emek, Furia, the Italian and the English in Nazareth will also operate in protected areas. In Nahariya, we note , most of the hospital has been operating underground for almost a year."

"Alarms were set off throughout the Galilee, the Jezreel Valley and the Carmel in the shooting attack to the north. A fire broke out in the Tzur Moshe neighborhood in Kiryat Bialik and in the settlement of Morshet following a rocket strike. Hezbollah announced that it tried to hit the air force base in Ramat David and the Rafael facility." https://news.walla.co.il/item/3692919

Reorganize "Events" section

Timeline of the Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present)

The "Events" section is disorganized. It is split up into 3 sections, 2 only covering up to 13 October, and the rest of time is dedicated in subsections of the last "Events" subsection.

You could make only 3 sections partially based on the template at right, "Initial clashes", "Escalation of conflict" (after the ceasefire ends), and last section as "Major Israeli attacks begin", beginning with the pager explosions, and then make subsections for specific events. Also, link to the specific timeline pages for each period or event as necessary instead of just the overarching index one. </MarkiPoli> <talk /><cont /> 07:41, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

I noticed that when doing a pass for WP:NPOV. It starts detailing the current attacks but then jumps back in time. I think a chronological order makes the most sense. I would probably split Background to cover only historic stuff (pre-8 October 2023), and then move everything else into new sections based on the phase of the conflict. You can't go too far wrong with following the chronology. Lewisguile (talk) 08:02, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Killed

Hamas announced this morning that the movement's leader in Lebanon, Fatah Sharif, was killed in an Israeli attack in the al-Bass refugee camp in the Tzur region. Abu al-Amin, who is also known as Fathi al-Sharif, also served as the chairman of UNRA teachers' organization in Lebanon. He was defined by Hamas as the leader of the movement in Lebanon, and as a member of the leadership abroad. https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/rjstxhvr0#autoplay

In addition, The Palestinian Popular Front said that 3 of its leaders were killed in the attack https://news.walla.co.il/item/3694874 2.55.182.232 (talk) 06:25, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected request on 30 September 2024

Proposal to remove the Asharq Al-Awsat reference following the sentence "An Israeli strike in Ain El Delb killed 45 people and injured at least 75 others", since the Asharq Al-Awsat article only gives a death count of 24 and does not support the larger (possibly more recent) numbers.

Incidentally, the Asharq Al-Awsat article does say 21 people were killed in a separate attack on a different area (Baalbek Hermel), and the sum of those numbers is 45— maybe the Al Jazeera source combined the numbers together, but it might just be a coincidence.

Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present) → Israel–Hezbollah war – since the 2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon has began and the death toll is climbing and above 1,000 I think this article should be move to war. HuntersHistory (talk) 19:35, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Surely it's gotten to the point where this is unanimously considered a war, right? How much more would you even need? Vinicius Z. Leão (talk) 23:17, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Wikipedia article titles are subject to the same policies and content guidelines as article content. Unless reliable sources have named this conflict 'Israel-Hezbollah war' then the article may not be titled that way. Mr rnddude (talk) 23:45, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
are there sources that use this name? Abo Yemen✉ 08:02, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Why no general page?

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I have a minor question. The Israeli invasion of Lebanon can be easily connected to the war in Gaza. News agencies seem to treat both as different fronts of a wider war. Israel and Iran have also traded bombs back and forth. Wouldn't it be more manageable/accurate to have a general page for the larger war in the Middle East, rather than two separate pages on the Israel-Gaza and Israel-Lebanon conflicts? Legit question Beccabecco (talk) 07:22, 5 October 2024 (UTC)WP:ARBECR Selfstudier (talk) 14:24, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

An umbrella article would be a good idea, in addition to the current articles. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 13:58, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
One would would need to establish notability for that article with sources referring to it, currently Middle East Crisis seems popular with RS at the moment. Selfstudier (talk) 14:28, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
Though the suggestion has been struck, I agree with it. There are multiple sideshows now of the Israel-Hamas war that it at its core has shifted away from its localized roots to a regional geopolitical conflict between Israel + Co against Axis of Resistance states/miltias. Perhaps a RFC could be opened somewhere? Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 17:31, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
RFC is unnecessary, just someone to make such an article and defend it. There's the redlink for the brave soul willing to undertake the mission. Selfstudier (talk) 17:55, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
Mission accepted. I am hammering out an article atUser:Fantastic Mr. Fox/sandbox, I will move it to main space when it is coherent enough. I encourage others to help me in this endeavor. Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 19:47, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 7 October 2024

Change the death toll in Lebanon from 1100+ killed to 2000+ killed. It is the more recent statistic (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/10/4/live-israeli-bombs-rain-down-on-lebanons-beirut-gaza-occupied-west-bank?update=3222514) Onana947 (talk) 06:38, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Infobox fork

I've boldly forked the infobox for this article to Template:Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present) infobox, as was done with Template:Israel–Hamas war infobox, because the article has become so large that I encountered significant load times when I made this edit. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 06:58, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Israel has launched attacks at a much higher rate than Hezbollah has

I'm not sure it belongs to the lede. While it's true and the cited article does say it (so I my edit summary was inaccurate), this is not a proof that it's one of the most important aspects of the war. It's also easy to find statistics that the Allies dropped many more bombs on Germany during the WW2 than vice versa and you can find statistics in relevant articles but it's not mentioned in the lede of the main article about the WW2. Alaexis¿question? 18:14, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

This isn't WWII so Idk what that's about. It's not even a war (yet), supposedly "limited". Here's another source with more detail https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-israeli-attacks-outnumbered-hezbollahs-five-to-one-our-analysis-finds Selfstudier (talk) 18:29, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
We should just list the number of attacks by each without editorializing.VR (Please ping on reply) 15:21, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Using a twitter post as a source

The article uses a twitter post as a source that allegedly disputes the visual evidence confirming the israeli control on the village maroun al ras. As much as I remember, sources that back statements noted in a wikipedia article, (let alone when the statement is crucial) should meet certain requirements, which, a twitter post does not do. Remove it. 141.226.89.63 (talk) 00:58, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Iran-Hezbollah ally

Why isn't Iran listed as an ally of Hezbollah? It is widely known and proved that Iran supports Hezbollah materially, financially, and morally.

Iran is listed as an ally of Hamas on this wiki page

Why isn't it listed as such on this page? ZeroByter (talk) 14:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Attack on journalists in October 2023

There is a separate article about the attack on journalists in October 2023, which is also linked to. Would it make sense to delete the following paragraph about 2024 events related to that 2023 attack, because it's already covered in that other article? I skipped the paragraph myself when reading. 82.147.226.185 (talk) 09:26, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

"A February 2024 report by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon concluded that an Israeli tank killed Abdallah when it fired at "clearly identifiable journalists", and that this broke international law. The report "assessed that there was no exchange of fire across the Blue Line at the time of the incident", with no records of any exchange of fire across the border for the 40 minutes before the tank firing.[165] The IDF responded to the report by claiming that Hezbollah attacked them, prompting them to retaliate with tank fire.[165]" 82.147.226.185 (talk) 09:26, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Categorization of alleged israeli war crimes

Why is the following text under Israels section of "targeting journalists" if Hezbollah was firing the missile? "On 26 December 2023, a Hezbollah anti-tank missile impacted near a Channel 13 News team while they were interviewing a farmer at Dovev for an article following a prior Hezbollah assault that killed a 56-year-old employee of the Israel Electric Corporation, and injured five workers who were repairing electric lines" 41.66.99.77 (talk) 14:51, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Probably accidental miscategorization because of the sub-section's title. The material doesn't appear to belong in the war crimes section though. There is no mention of intentional targeting, and the news crew wasn't hit by the AT missile. I can't read Hebrew though, so another editor should check before moving or removing it. Mr rnddude (talk) 15:01, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

A correction over the identity of casualties in IDF attack

in the "November" portion, it is written: "Following a Hezbollah strike on 13 November, the IDF responded with heavy shelling across southern Lebanon which reportedly killed two civilians.". It referances a Reuters artical that states "Israeli strikes killed two people in south Lebanon on Monday, according to a first-responder organisation affiliated to the Hezbollah-allied Amal Movement.". The article doesn't state that the casualties were civilians. The sentence should either be changed or cite an article that confirms both casualties were civilians Stone fridge (talk) 18:48, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
