Bar Yohai: what Wikipedia removed
Bar Yohai, a Jewish religious community in northern Israel built on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Safsaf. The 2015 opening said the villagers fled to Lebanon after the Safsaf massacre in October 1948, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The opening today no longer names the massacre, though the word survives once elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that villagers fled the site after the Safsaf massacre during the 1948 war.
The word “occupation” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2015. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.

It was founded in 1977 as a settlement for olim from the former Soviet Union. Those olim were not interested in living such a distance from a city nor in such austere conditions (each side of a duplex was less than 650 square feet). Sochnut officials then offered the failing yishuv to Religious Zionist families and members of nearby moshavim .
