Biased

The article contains language that may not adhere to Wikipedia’s neutrality standards. To maintain the article’s objectivity, it should be reviewed and adjusted. A lot of biased phrasing. Ensuring a balanced perspective is crucial.

It reads very one-sided as it emphasizes the destruction caused by Israel without fully contextualizing Hezbollah's provocations leading up to the airstrike. It inaccurately frames the event as an "assassination" rather than an elimination of a key figure actively engaged in orchestrating attacks against Israel for decades. While it briefly mentions Hezbollah’s actions, it doesn’t adequately address the severity of those threats or the strategic rationale for Israel's response. The focus on civilian casualties, paired with phrases like "war of extermination," risks framing Israel as excessively aggressive without balancing it with details about Hezbollah's tactics, such as embedding military assets within civilian areas. A more neutral tone would provide this context for a fuller and more accurate picture.

2024 Hezbollah headquarters strike → Assassination of Hassan Nasrallah – WP:PRECISE: Given that there was a previous move attempt [1] where some people preferred moving it to this title and that the primary topic of this article is Nasrallah's assassination, I believe that the new title is much better at addressing the content. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 05:14, 1 February 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 11:31, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

oppose: several terrorists were targeted, not only that one. Also, "assassination" is a word that implies that the death was unlawful or questionable, whereas "killing" is a neutral term (compare Killing of Osama Bin Laden. Cambalachero (talk) 13:14, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While I understand your point that multiple people were targeted, the main person killed was Nasrallah himself. The entire operation was planned around Nasrallah's death.

On your point about using the word "assassination", the word is defined as "murder by sudden or secret attack often for political reasons" by Merriam-Webster. Given that the whole point of the operation was to eliminate Nasrallah and to send a message to Hezbollah, I believe the word is proper for use. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 01:11, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But Israel was at war with those organizations, and that man was a military target. The attack can hardly be considered "sudden" or "secret". Cambalachero (talk) 00:06, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody but the Israeli military knew when the attack would come, so I would still say that it's a "sudden" and "secret" attack. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 19:37, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Sudden" and "secret" is more like the Assassination of John F. Kennedy. JFK had no reason to expect an attack. Nasrallah may ignore the when and where, but knew fully well that Israel was going after him. Cambalachero (talk) 02:11, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

oppose because there were 30+ other casualties, not just Nasrallah. Wafflefrites (talk) 15:34, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
