Yashlatz: what Wikipedia removed

Yashlatz is a religious Zionist yeshiva high school in Jerusalem. Through 2015 the opening said the nearby library of Merkaz Harav “was subject to an Arab terrorist attack, and 5 of its students were murdered.” Today the opening describes only the school’s founding and community; the word survives twice elsewhere in the article, not the opening. A reader today does not learn that the 2008 attack on the adjacent Mercaz HaRav library, which killed five students, was described in the article as an Arab terrorist attack.

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.
