[edit]


  • What I think should be changed:

Please remove the entry of "Battle of Tel al-Hawa" from the Major Battles section.

Battle of Tel al-Hawa
+
  • Why it should be changed:

This is not a major battle (or a battle at all). It lacks a separate Wikipedia page, and the section about the battle in "Tel al-Hawa" reflects a series of attacks rather than a major battle. It might be more appropriate to place it under the "Attacks" section or remove it from this list altogether.

  • References supporting the possible change:

Sorry I'm confused does WP:ONUS not place the burden on existing article content to justify itself and if controversial that controversy should be minimised.
Apologies if I have misunderstood.
Regardless;
Tal Al Hawa Tough Battle For Israel| Countercurrents
> In his military analysis, Al-Duwairi doubted what the Israeli media was saying  about the transfer of three soldiers wounded in the Gaza battles. He said the Israeli army admitted it was subjected to four difficult security incidents  in Tal al-Hawa.
> The expert who is a military analyst on Al Jazeera believes these difficult events resulted in the killing of more Israeli soldiers, basing his view also on the Information provided by  Al-Qassam Brigades and Saraya Al-Quds, the military wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
and elsewhere
> Based on this, Al-Duwairi predicted the Israeli casualties ranged from 6 to 8 on average, some serious, in addition to deaths because of the hard nature of the incidents while ruling out the total of only three casualties, as claimed by the Israeli media.
That is the only source I could find
But that combined with the text of the article itself; everything that is discussed relates only to very small numbers of people 4 killed, one person found under a car, 40 wounded. This sounds very much like a small unit operation and not a major battle so I have to say I agree with @Guy Haddad 1

I went ahead and added some sources to the article, since this edit request has been reopened someone else can come and make the edits for you. Dr vulpes (Talk) 03:46, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Done In a major re-ordering of the page by User: Eagowl, with the “Major Battles” section being split up into different sections, “Battle of Tel al-Hawa” was also removed from the article. Closing as done. ApexParagon (talk) 02:31, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
