Ein Ofarim killings: what Wikipedia removed

The Ein Ofarim killings was a 1956 attack on Israeli Druze civilians. Through 2020 the opening called it a terrorist attack. Today the opening calls it an attack by Palestinian Fedayeen, though terror survives seven times in the body. A reader arriving now learns an attack happened and who carried it out, not that Wikipedia’s own opening once called it terrorist.

The word “terror” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2015. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 7. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.

Counts are of the opening paragraph only, the part most readers, search engines and AI training sets ever quote.

The changes on this article are at the word level rather than whole passages; the table above shows the counts moving.
