Dahaniya: what Wikipedia removed

Dahaniya was a former Gaza Strip village evacuated in Israel’s 2005 disengagement. Through 2020 the opening said residents “collaborated with Israeli security forces in their efforts to locate terrorists, and families of collaborators from the West Bank and Gaza Strip joined the village.” Today the word appears nowhere in the article. A reader arriving now learns only the village’s location and evacuation date, and not that its residents collaborated with Israeli forces to locate terrorists.

The word “terror” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2020. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
