Infobox edit request, July 2, 2025

[edit]

Currently the Infobox lists the “Result” of the October 7 attacks as a “tactical victory”; this is a misrepresentation of the source cited, which characterized the attacks merely as a “tactical success.” In American English, the word “victory” most commonly carries a connotation of a decisive victory in a battle or war, which the October 7 attacks were not in any traditionally understood sense of the word; the October 7 attacks were terrorist attacks against unarmed civilians, not a proper “battle” or “war” between military or even paramilitary combatants. Request changing the “Result” from the current misleading wording (“Hamas tactical victory”) to a more objective, more neutral-POV “1195 Israelis and foreign nationals killed; start of the Gaza War”  —Arrandale Westmere (talk) 03:06, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit extended-protected}} template. The October 7 attacks were to a significant extent a military confrontation between Hamas fighters and the IDF, in addition to the attacks on civilians that took place. The terminology used is plainly appropriate. Day Creature (talk) 06:33, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

In the introduction, it is said that "Dozens of cases of rape and sexual assault reportedly occurred, but Hamas officials denied the involvement of their fighters." but the sources given use very different language: “Initially said to be "dozens" by Israeli authorities, they later clarified they could not provide a number” (...) “Hamas has called for an impartial international investigation into the accusations.” - therefore, I propose the following change:

Diff:

−
Dozens of cases of rape and sexual assault reportedly occurred, but Hamas officials denied the involvement of their fighters.
+
Israeli authorities have reported cases of rape and sexual assault – initially said to be "dozens" by Israeli authorities, who later clarified they could not provide a number – but Hamas officials denied the involvement of their fighters, and have called for an impartial international investigation into the accusations.” The militants involved in the attack are accused of having committed acts of [[Gender-related violence|gender-based violence]], war crimes, and [[crimes against humanity]]. Hamas has denied that its fighters committed any sexual assaults, and has called for an impartial international investigation into the accusations.

Description of suggested change:

In the 'Attacks' subsection, I refute the terminology used here; "6,000 Palestinian militants and civilians infiltrated Israel from Gaza breaching the border in 119 places.". Frankly, anyone that enters a country with the intention of violence, cannot be described as a civilian in any capacity. I recommend amending this article to retain Wikipedia's position of unbiased description of events.

Sincerely,

An individual directly affected by the 07/10/23 attacks.

In the summary, the article states "At least 14 Israelis were killed by the Hannibal directive" however the subsequent articles describes a much higher confirmed number, stemming from multiple incidents. This seems internally contradictory. 209.227.145.83 (talk) 14:18, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All Hamas leaders listed are dead

[edit]

The killed in action and assassinated symbols should be added next to the names of the hamas leaders in the info box, considering they’ve all been killed or assassinated since october 7th 70.59.78.148 (talk) 21:04, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
