Netzer Hazani (Israeli settlement): what Wikipedia removed
Netzer Hazani was an Israeli settlement in Gush Katif, evacuated in Israel’s 2005 disengagement. Through 2010 the opening stated that the settlement’s chief rabbi, Yitzhak Arama, “was shot and killed by a member of the Islamic Jihad group as he was driving with his family in Gush Katif on December 20, 2002.” Today the opening gives only the settlement’s location and evacuation date, and the word jihad appears nowhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that the settlement’s chief rabbi was murdered by Islamic Jihad while driving with his family.
The word “jihad” 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.
