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.
