Al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades: what Wikipedia removed
The al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades are the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, a Palestinian militant organization operating in the Gaza Strip. Through 2010 the opening said these organizations are regarded as terrorist organizations by Israel and the United States. Today the word is nowhere in the article, count zero. A reader arriving now learns only that it is a Palestinian armed organization, and not that Israel and the United States designate it a terrorist organization.
The word “terror” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
