Kfar Yavetz: what Wikipedia removed

Kfar Yavetz is an Israeli moshav where a resident, Afari, a mother of eight, was killed in a bombing carried out by Islamic Jihad. Through 2015 the opening stated, “The terrorist slipped into the house unnoticed and detonated a bomb he was carrying in a bag,” describing a bombing carried out by Islamic Jihad. Today’s opening lists only the moshav’s location and population, with terror surviving three times elsewhere in the article, not the opening. A reader arriving now does not learn that a resident of Kfar Yavetz was killed in a terrorist bombing carried out by Islamic Jihad.

The word “terror” appeared 2 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2015. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 3. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
