Avigayil: what Wikipedia removed
Avigayil, an Israeli settlement in the West Bank between Ma’on and Susya. The 2010 opening said it was established near an area where there had been many attempted terror attacts on Israeli civilians. The word appears nowhere in the article today. A reader today does not learn that the settlement was established in an area that had seen repeated attacks targeting Israeli civilians.
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.
