Kfar Hoshen: what Wikipedia removed
Kfar Hoshen is an Israeli moshav built on the land of the former Palestinian village of Safsaf. The 2010 opening said the village’s residents ‘fled to Lebanon after the Safsaf massacre in October 1948, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.’ Today’s opening covers only the moshav’s modern geography and population, though massacre survives once in the body. A reader today does not learn that the moshav sits on the site of a Palestinian village whose residents fled after a 1948 massacre there.
The word “massacre” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
