Karmei Tzur: what Wikipedia removed
Karmei Tzur is the West Bank Israeli settlement near Hebron. The 2010 opening said ‘In 2002 a terrorist infiltrated the settlement, broke into one of the homes and murdered Ayal Sorek and his 9-month-pregnant wife Yael along with reserve soldier Shalom Mordechai.’ Today’s opening covers only the settlement’s governance and legal status, and the attack is gone from it, though terror survives four times in the body. A reader today does not learn that a terrorist murdered a pregnant woman, her husband, and a soldier in this settlement in 2002.
The word “terror” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 4. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
