Quality assessment class

With all due respect to MILHIST, I find this article too under-referenced to meet B-class criterion 1. Most of it is referenced to one magazine; Tasks, Uniforms and Weapon sections are unreferenced; and the largest section has no in-line citations, including a direct quotation that is not sourced. --RexxS (talk) 16:10, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One of the region's best special forces units

Well, I've found only one source which support this statement -the one already used here [1]. Also, in the Ambush of Israeli Naval Commandos "operation", this source is given again- only this one. The fact is that there is not even one reliable source to confirm it and that it's, by itself, not a reliable source. The publisher give no clue about who his sources may be for the assertions he made. It's an opinion article and again, not from a RS. Also, 11 commandos and not 12, were killed in this explosive charges ambush (infact, it's not even clear that it was realy an ambush, technical faliure which lead to the explosive devices one of the commandos carried on his back expsloded, killing many of his friends and attracting Hezbolla terorists to attack the servivors-is a very reasonable option by the Israeli army invstigation committee, although the main suspect is one of Israel's UAVs which was involved in the operation and which broadcasted to unsecured satellite channel by a severe mistake, exposing the Israeli commando arrvial) the 12th casualti was military medical doctor who came with the rescue force. --Gilisa (talk) 12:38, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
