Said al-Sabeh: what Wikipedia removed
Said al-Sabeh was a Palestinian politician who fought in the 1948 war. In the 2020 opening, Wikipedia said he fought in the 1948 war, and was the commander of Holy Jihad Brigade in the vicinity of Qalqilya during the British colonization. Today’s opening states only his name, dates, and that he was a Palestinian politician, with his command of the Holy Jihad Brigade gone, though jihad survives once elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that al-Sabeh commanded the Holy Jihad Brigade near Qalqilya during the 1948 war.
The word “colonial” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2020. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
