List of projectile attacks from Lebanon on Israel and the Golan Heights: what Wikipedia removed
This is a list of rocket, mortar and projectile attacks on Israel and the Golan Heights from Lebanon. In 2010 the opening paragraph named the perpetrator directly: “Lebanese Islamist militant group Hezbollah fired some 4,000 rockets at Israel.” Today the opening describes only “Palestinian militant groups and/or Muslim Shia or Sunni militant groups from Lebanon,” without naming Hezbollah or calling it Islamist, though the word survives once in the body. A reader arriving now learns that unnamed militant groups fired the rockets and not that Hezbollah, identified as an Islamist militant group, was responsible.
The word “islamist” 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.
