Islamic Azz Brigades as a unit of Hezbollah?

I'm a bit conflicted on whether "Islamic Azz Brigades" should be moved as a unit of Hezbollah. The group was completely unknown/likely never existed prior to the conflict and most scholars believe that it is a Hezbollah front organization (granting them some form of plausible deniability). It also doesn't appear to have been active for more than a few days, so it might make sense to remove them all together. RisingTzar (talk) 09:27, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

17 Sep pager attack

Reports are now that up to 3,000 Hezbollah militants were injured in today's pager attack [1]. Since this is the first time a tactic of this sort has succeeded on such a wide scale, it probably deserves its own article. 152.130.15.102 (talk) 20:23, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hospital went Underground

"The massive shooting at the northern places at Israel leads to dramatic changes in the operating model of the hospitals from Haifa and the north. The Ministry of Health informed this morning (Sunday) that the Rambam Hospital is moving to work in the hospital's secured parking lot. The Carmel, Ziv, Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, the Emek, Furia, the Italian and the English in Nazareth will also operate in protected areas. In Nahariya, we note , most of the hospital has been operating underground for almost a year."

"Alarms were set off throughout the Galilee, the Jezreel Valley and the Carmel in the shooting attack to the north. A fire broke out in the Tzur Moshe neighborhood in Kiryat Bialik and in the settlement of Morshet following a rocket strike. Hezbollah announced that it tried to hit the air force base in Ramat David and the Rafael facility." https://news.walla.co.il/item/3692919

The Sheeba farms area is not occupied. It was a disputed area between Lebanon Syria and Israel. The UN recognised that Israel withdrew to international borders in May 2000 https://www.reuters.com/article/world/un-cites-confusion-over-maps-of-shebaa-farms-idUSN30254429/

Lebanon continues to call an additional area it calls the Sheeba farms for political purposes only. Harold.whatever (talk) 08:28, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done This is not a proper edit request. In addition, you clearly do not understand the history. Zero^talk 11:22, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rafale factory

Theres nothing on the attack on the Haifa arms facility. Widely acknowledged as striking deep within. Sportsnut24 (talk) 08:34, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Casualties and losses on Israel's side

The article states that according to Hezbollah, there are more than 2,000 casualties on Israel's side using this source for the claim. This is of course false and is Hezbollah's propaganda. This claim should be deleted. HiyoriX (talk) 13:17, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is why it says “Hezbollah claim” as it is the party claiming this casualty toll The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 14:55, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ali Karaki

Apparently dead according to many sources. 185.182.71.28 (talk) 17:16, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

War

Should we rename this page incase of a actual war between Israel and Lebanon or make a new article? PopularGames (talk) 20:28, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many sources are saying a war has already broken out or is about to. But the more important point is that this page isn't about the war. Its about the clashes that preceded a war, which is a notable topic in its own right. The article on war should be a new article.VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 00:01, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've started an article here: Third Lebanon War, though I'm wondering if I should draftify it at this point. @Prodrummer619, your thoughts? VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 00:21, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request: Update the Lebanese casualty figures

Currently the infobox states "150+ civilians killed in Lebanon", however this is now out of date.

Today's (23rd September 2024) air strikes have killed 492 people, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry, as cited in this BBC News article.

I am formally producing an edit request, to request that this significant update to the casualty figures be made to the infobox (and wider article too, ideally). Neutral Editor 645 (talk) 22:00, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not known how many of the deaths were civilians or militants as of now. I think it's best we wait for more details before updating the casualties. Chomik! (talk?) 22:08, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request: Wrong date

The sentence "The Security Cabinet of Israel approved a new war aim of returning evacuated residents to the north of Israel, adding to the goals of destroying Hamas and liberating the hostages." should be moved from 17 September to 16 September. Reason: The source https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cglkkrj94ldo says "The decision was taken by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet late on Monday." Where Monday = 16 September 2024. Professor Tournesol (talk) 02:47, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
