Nahliel: what Wikipedia removed

Nahliel is a Haredi Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Through 2015 the opening said “During the Al-Aqsa Intifada, 2 Israeli women were ambushed and wounded by Palestinian militants near Nahliel.” Today’s opening says nothing about this attack, describing only the settlement’s population and jurisdiction, though the word survives twice in the body. A reader today does not learn from the opening that two Israeli women were ambushed and wounded by Palestinian militants near Nahliel.

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