A fact from Islamism in the Gaza Strip appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 September 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Article states:
The influence of Islamic groups in the Gaza Strip has grown significantly since the 1980's, especially as poverty has risen and fighting with Israel began in 2000.
Source 2 states:
The influence of Islamic groups in the Gaza Strip has grown over the past three decades, especially as poverty has risen since fighting with Israel began in 2000.
Which is not the same.
Besides that I think what is stated here is a causal relation between poverty, fighting with Israel and the influence of Islamic groups. While this might be true it´s not trivially so. Therefore the statement would deserve a paragraph on it´s own. And also then it should be properly sourced, not just with one by-sentence in a news article.
