List of Israeli price tag attacks: what Wikipedia removed
This is a list of attacks by radical Israeli settlers against Palestinians and Israeli security forces, known as price tag attacks. As of the October 6, 2023 snapshot the opening explained that these attacks have been in retribution for terrorist attacks where Jews have been killed, injured, maimed. Today the opening carries no such context, and that sentence is gone from the article entirely. A reader today learns that settlers carried out a campaign of retribution against Palestinians, and not what that retribution was for.
The word “terror” appeared 4 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 6 October 2023. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 14. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
