Inclusion of Beit Lid

[edit]

That was very obviously an attack on soldiers; it was carried out at a hitch-hiking spot for reservists going to and from their base, and at least 18 of the 21 killed were uniformed Tzahal. I think it should be included, mind you, but we'd have to change the currently stated criteria because they refer only to attacks on civilians. Possibly, just changing it to "attacks on noncombatants" would be enough, since reserve soldiers not participating in an operation and not currently part of a chain of command are not considered combatants. Oh, also, most of the sources I've seen say 19 killed - from where comes the number 21?<eleland/talkedits> 02:47, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Same goes for Megiddo Junction / Egged bus 830 massacre - the bus was full of uniformed soldiers, and 13 of 17 killed were IDF. Again, suitable for inclusion, but not in a list of "attacks on civilians". <eleland/talkedits> 02:55, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
