Palestinian Casualties

The number of Palestinian casualties in operation "Defesive Shield" is grossly inaccurate.

According to the Report of the Secretary-General prepared pursuant to GA resolution ES-10/10 (Report on Jenin) (A/ES-10/186)[1] "A total of 497 Palestinians were killed in the course of the IDF reoccupation of Palestinian area A from 1 March to 7 May 2002 and in the immediate aftermath". Alas, Operation "Defensive Shiled" was conducted from 29 March to 10 May 2002.

According to B'tselem report [2], 244 Palestinians were killed between 29 March to 10 May 2002.

Hebrew mistransliteration

The lede transliterates מִבְצָע as mitzvah when it is in fact mivtsa. I don't have permissions to edit this page, so I'm asking someone else to do it for me. Kyoto Grand (talk) 01:37, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox picture

@דור פוזנר: The previous infobox picture was much more illustrative of the operation which saw Israeli troops invade Palestinian cities. The current one looks more editorial. Why did you change it? Makeandtoss (talk) 09:28, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The original caption of the infobox picture you added in August (without discussion nor consensus) doesn't say 'invasion' or 'invaded' in wikicommons, but simply "IDF soldiers activity in the streets of Bethlehem". It's not a good picture since the soldiers are far away from the camera. Maybe we could add it to section dealing with Bethlehem but not the infobox. I simply restored the original picture, I don't see any problem with it. On a different note, I find strange that you removed a single mention to Palestinian suicide attacks, which was the main motivation behind this operation, and given that WP:LEAD summary should reflect article's content. דור פוזנר (talk) 01:40, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@דור פוזנר: And why do you think Wikipedia should use the caption from Wikicommons, whose caption is written by the Israeli military? Opening paragraph of the lede has special criteria from MOS:OPEN which says it must be kept general and neutral. Makeandtoss (talk) 09:15, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
