[edit] New info his his death
Please add 'Dahlan involved in poisoning of Yasser Arafat' which implicated Mohammad Dahlan in Arafat's death. I can't edit this article because Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that not everyone can edit. 65.96.60.92 (talk) 19:17, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
[edit] spelling correction
This is just a very minor request, of anyone who has permission to edit this locked article, to correct a spelling mistake that occurs between the two occurrences of footnote reference 127: "speachwriter" should be changed to "speechwriter". After making this correct, feel free to also delete this request, thank you.67.217.31.180 (talk) 18:57, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
- Done--thanks for your help. Drmies (talk) 20:24, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
[edit] New Information
It has been alleged by the retired Mossad agent that the person buried in Ramallah as Yasser Arafat is, in fact, not real Yasser Arafat but the Israeli double. Real Yasser Arafat was "replaced" by the Israeli double in a complicated operation during air crush in Libya on 7th of April, 1992, that was engineered by the Mossad. Many noticed that Yasser Arafat changed markedly in appearance after the crush but it was attributed to the shock and injures he allegedly suffered as the result of the catastrophe. The "replacement" operation was the Mossad inside job. It is not clear what the exact motives were for this operation. Both left wing and right wing arguments can be made for this case. Real Yasser Arafat's body was buried somewhere in Libya. The Israeli double was the formerly Egyptian Jew who looked and talked just like the real Yasser Arafat. It is unclear to what extent he was able to carry his mission assigned by the Mossad. (rorsqlge) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.46.251.141 (talk) 13:59, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Arafat's personal wealth
The article states that Arafat had a personal wealth of USD 1.3 billion but the source is irrelevant (if it actually exists) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.119.108.100 (talk) 05:05, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
[edit] corrections
The Jordenian (then) village which was the target of IDF's raid in 1966 is called As-Samua and not as is written. The PLO's "victory" in Karameh (1968), was in fact just a claim of victory, without any correlation to reality, at least according to military criteria. IDF won this battle as is written in this very article, just a few lines earlier. Could someone check and correct? I think I am not authorized to correct this article in English Wikipedia. 79.180.241.51 (talk) 20:07, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
