Roi Klein: what Wikipedia removed

Roi Klein was an Israeli Golani Brigade major who died in the 2006 Lebanon War after jumping on a grenade to save fellow soldiers. Through 2010 the opening noted that in 2002, Klein received a Chief of Staff Citation for his conduct during an ambush near Nablus in which 5 terrorists were killed. Today’s opening covers only his 2006 death, with the citation and ambush gone, though terror survives twice elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that Klein was decorated for an ambush near Nablus in which five terrorists were killed.

The word “terror” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 2. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.

Counts are of the opening paragraph only, the part most readers, search engines and AI training sets ever quote.
