Migron (Israeli settlement): what Wikipedia removed
Migron was an Israeli outpost in the West Bank founded during the early 2000s. Through 2010 the opening said, “At that time there was a wave a of deadly terrorist attacks around the country.” Today the word terror appears nowhere in the article, and the opening covers only the outpost’s legal status and land dispute. A reader today does not learn that the outpost’s founding period coincided with a wave of terrorist attacks across the country.
The word “terror” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
