/info/en/?search=2014_Israel%E2%80%93Gaza_conflict Keep up to date. The Middle East is a hot topic right now. Keep the facts accurate enough for people. Otherwise the page could be terminated if its not active. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PleaseConsider ( talk • contribs) 14:58, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
It is incredibly POV not to include the deaths of the other side. -- 217.162.219.59 ( talk) 14:07, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I agree. It's definitively biased information if only showing casualties of one side. This is not just Israeli history, it's Palestinian and Lebanese and Middle East history.
The casualty figures need to be added for all parties engaged in each conflict - along with the stated reasons/justification for the start of each conflict. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.237.10.109 ( talk) 09:34, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Referring to Hamas millitary leader Jabari as a 'terrorist' is misleading to say the least. Probably the term is close to meaningless and should never be used lightly on Wikipedia. Source Sinbadbuddha ( talk) 23:27, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
The " 2000–2006 Shebaa Farms conflict" which refers to all the Hezbollah hostile activities (rocket and mortar attacks) carried out along the Israeli-Lebanese border between 2000-2006 should definitely be removed from this article - these well-planned attacks had only minimal IDF responses (immediate aircraft and artillery attacks directed only at the launching areas). Israel has been experiencing non-stop hostile activities ever since it was established by many terrorist/guerrilla organizations – we cannot and should not list the terrorist/guerrilla attacks against Israeli targets in this list – they could perhaps be listed a different article which would focus on that instead though.

Operation Defensive Shield????? my friend... now do you want to translate this box to this article? What are you doing?-- AndresHerutJaim ( talk) 06:45, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
We need to reach a consensus on this matter. We need to select only the most prominent ones to be included here since we could not and should not list all military operations ever made by the IDF here and/or list all the terrorist/guerrilla attacks against Israeli targets in which the IDF's reaction was minimal (immediate Israeli aircraft and artillery attacks directed at the launching sites immediately after the attacks).
The current selection which I have created is mostly composed of "Armed conflicts involving the IDF not defined as wars" which I consider the most prominent ones:
Please give reasons for or against the current armed conflicts included and/or for your suggestions.
As I said, we need to reach a consensus on this matter through a discussion which would include (hopefully) many wikipedians about the final selection of armed conflicts included in this article. TheCuriousGnome ( talk) 17:26, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

User:AndresHerutJaim has changed the name of the 1948 Arab-Israel War to War of Independence two times in a 24hr period and has broken the 1R rule in doing so.I asked him to self revert it and he has but has put in the comment box "for now".The war is known as the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, that is what the article on the wikipedia is called so I see no need to change it.Although it may be known by the other name possible in Israel it is not known by that name around the world.I do not see the reason for changing it to something that it is not called in the actual wikipedia article.The editor has told me to bring this to talk before changing it back but has failed himself to bring it here before changing it in the first place.Thoughts?

We just finished going through this once: I've just restored the article version as edited by AndresHerutJaim at 03:31, 20 June 2011 UTC. The overall structure, organization, and order of presentation in that version was the result of a long process of compromises that began almost three months ago. The restructuring that Greyshark09 introduced yesterday threw that out entirely, restored the precedence of Israeli-specific names, and restricted the term "war" to just the Israeli-approved usage rather than the common international usage we'd agreed (see previous talk page section) to abide by previously. My restoration effectively reverts Greyshark09's restructuring. We can go through the tedium of a formal RfC, I suppose, but given that this was just settled, I think demanding that now would be poor practice. – OhioStandard ( talk) 23:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Just one remark - War over Water is not a "War", it is called "the war over the water", a dispute over water resources - there were technically no casualties in those several operations. Greyshark09 ( talk) 17:49, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Since this is titled the "list of wars" (not "list of conflicts" or battles), then all events listed here should qualify the definition of war (sometimes wars are part of a bigger conflict or war - like WW, but usually not) or at least be defined as a "war" by WP:RS [8]:
The events which do not qualify the definition or are subconflicts or even single battles, and are not named "war" per WP:COMMONNAME:
Well, any sources to call those wars would be appreciated. Greyshark09 ( talk) 17:00, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Since this discussion went dead, i would like to add that a definition of war according to Webster is:
Thus if the conflict was not declared a war by any side and involved only certain organization, rather a nation or a state - it cannot be called war, thus the "War list" including "retribution operations" is a synthesis and either removed or moved into "conflicts involving IDF". Greyshark09 ( talk) 11:35, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move per request.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 03:34, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
Wars involving Israel → List of wars involving Israel – To match the other "List of wars" articles. Emmette Hernandez Coleman ( talk) 13:03, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
User:Averysoda is insisting that 1) the 1982-85 Lebanon War was a "military victory" and "strategic failure" (which can only make sense if one choose to ignore all events after 1982), and 2) that the 1985-2000 South Lebanon conflict was "separate". I appeal to him to describe how they are separate in any way - they are divided into two different articles for the sake of clarity, but are in no way separate in practical terms (one being merely a continuation of the other). I fail to see the logic behind either of those claims, and invite him to explain them here. -- Mikrobølgeovn ( talk) 15:03, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps its better to change result from "victory" to "overall victory", there were few battles Israel lost or didn't win ex: Battles of Latrun (1948). Makeandtoss ( talk) 21:03, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
I am not resembling terrorism to Israel. on the night of the termination of mandate it was no state. It had nothing.. I bet there was a dicussion on this issue on 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the article says Arab forces invaded Palestine. Makeandtoss ( talk) 18:59, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

For the 2006 Lebanon War you should include the Amal Movement since it was written as a belligrent in the First Lebanon War but it was actually a belligrent in both wars. 218.186.135.10 ( talk) 01:08, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
References
The following source has been used by other articles to cite the 17 death of the Amal Movement in the Second Lebanon War, which makes it the second most active belligerent of the Hezbollah-led faction and therefore it should be mentioned as such, as it was in the previous conflicts.

.The information is different in the Hebrew Wikipedia. It says, "The war did not yield a clear victory for either side" and I think it's not biased, because a ceasefire was signed and UNIFIL forces were deployed on the border between Israel and Lebanon thus, I believe it should be changed here too.

In the phrase "Palestinian attacks and counter Military operations carried out by the Israel Defense Forces during the 1950s and 1960s" (the "Palestinian Fedayeen insurgency" section), does "Palestinian attacks" refer to attacks by Palestine or attacks on Palestine? To me, the meaning of the sentence is ambiguous (since the "and" could be referring to two separate attacks that were both carried out by Israel, or it could be referring to an attack by Palestine and Israeli counterattacks). My assumption is that the intended meaning is the latter, but I would like to clarify if possible. IDontHaveAnAccountYet ( talk) 05:56, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Correct the typo – current conflict is not called "Swords of Iran" but "Swords of Iron". ToKroCZ ( talk) 14:07, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
The opening paragraph reads that there have been "two major Palestinian Arab uprisings known as the First Intifada and the Second Intifada (see Israeli–Palestinian conflict), and a broad series of other armed engagements rooted in the Arab–Israeli conflict." Should the recent war be included in this mention of Palestinian uprisings? In any case, it might already seem notable enough to be mentioned and linked in the introduction. 84.169.235.246 ( talk) 10:47, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
The table is useful but its presentation is confused. Does it present a list of conflicts based on the Israeli perspective or not? On the one hand the introduction to the table says only conflicts in bold are considered as wars by Israel (as opposed, presumably, to mere skirmishes or disorder). On the other hand the results column list victories, clearly only victories for the Israeli side.
My suggestions: - Re-word the introductory sentence to the table as follows: "The following table lists conflicts involving Israel. Conflicts officially considered as wars by the Israeli Ministry of Defense (as opposed to mere skirmishes or civil disorder) are marked in bold." - Give a better reference ... note 3 is to another Wikipedia entry on Israeli military decorations so I am not sure what is meant to be learned from there. - In the results column "Victory" should be changed to "Israeli victory". The latter is unambiguous and there should be no presumption for what readers understand by the former. Hajjamda ( talk) 11:39, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

We just finished going through this once: I've just restored the article version as edited by AndresHerutJaim at 03:31, 20 June 2011 UTC. The overall structure, organization, and order of presentation in that version was the result of a long process of compromises that began almost three months ago. The restructuring that Greyshark09 introduced yesterday threw that out entirely, restored the precedence of Israeli-specific names, and restricted the term "war" to just the Israeli-approved usage rather than the common international usage we'd agreed (see previous talk page section) to abide by previously. My restoration effectively reverts Greyshark09's restructuring. We can go through the tedium of a formal RfC, I suppose, but given that this was just settled, I think demanding that now would be poor practice. – OhioStandard ( talk) 23:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Just one remark - War over Water is not a "War", it is called "the war over the water", a dispute over water resources - there were technically no casualties in those several operations. Greyshark09 ( talk) 17:49, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Since this is titled the "list of wars" (not "list of conflicts" or battles), then all events listed here should qualify the definition of war (sometimes wars are part of a bigger conflict or war - like WW, but usually not) or at least be defined as a "war" by WP:RS [8]:
The events which do not qualify the definition or are subconflicts or even single battles, and are not named "war" per WP:COMMONNAME:
Well, any sources to call those wars would be appreciated. Greyshark09 ( talk) 17:00, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Since this discussion went dead, i would like to add that a definition of war according to Webster is:
Thus if the conflict was not declared a war by any side and involved only certain organization, rather a nation or a state - it cannot be called war, thus the "War list" including "retribution operations" is a synthesis and either removed or moved into "conflicts involving IDF".

Wars involving Israel → List of wars involving Israel – To match the other "List of wars" articles. Emmette Hernandez Coleman ( talk) 13:03, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
User:Averysoda is insisting that 1) the 1982-85 Lebanon War was a "military victory" and "strategic failure" (which can only make sense if one choose to ignore all events after 1982), and 2) that the 1985-2000 South Lebanon conflict was "separate". I appeal to him to describe how they are separate in any way - they are divided into two different articles for the sake of clarity, but are in no way separate in practical terms (one being merely a continuation of the other). I fail to see the logic behind either of those claims, and invite him to explain them here. -- Mikrobølgeovn ( talk) 15:03, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps its better to change result from "victory" to "overall victory", there were few battles Israel lost or didn't win ex: Battles of Latrun (1948). Makeandtoss ( talk) 21:03, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
I am not resembling terrorism to Israel. on the night of the termination of mandate it was no state. It had nothing.. I bet there was a dicussion on this issue on 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the article says Arab forces invaded Palestine. Makeandtoss ( talk) 18:59, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

It's not only showing Israeli casualties, which is not full information. Data of Palestinian casualties in Operation Cast Lead and the other wars should definitively be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.191.131.119 ( talk) 00:38, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

For the 2006 Lebanon War you should include the Amal Movement since it was written as a belligrent in the First Lebanon War but it was actually a belligrent in both wars. 218.186.135.10 ( talk) 01:08, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
References
The following source has been used by other articles to cite the 17 death of the Amal Movement in the Second Lebanon War, which makes it the second most active belligerent of the Hezbollah-led faction and therefore it should be mentioned as such, as it was in the previous conflicts.

.The information is different in the Hebrew Wikipedia. It says, "The war did not yield a clear victory for either side" and I think it's not biased, because a ceasefire was signed and UNIFIL forces were deployed on the border between Israel and Lebanon thus, I believe it should be changed here too.

In the phrase "Palestinian attacks and counter Military operations carried out by the Israel Defense Forces during the 1950s and 1960s" (the "Palestinian Fedayeen insurgency" section), does "Palestinian attacks" refer to attacks by Palestine or attacks on Palestine? To me, the meaning of the sentence is ambiguous (since the "and" could be referring to two separate attacks that were both carried out by Israel, or it could be referring to an attack by Palestine and Israeli counterattacks). My assumption is that the intended meaning is the latter, but I would like to clarify if possible. IDontHaveAnAccountYet ( talk) 05:56, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Correct the typo – current conflict is not called "Swords of Iran" but "Swords of Iron". ToKroCZ ( talk) 14:07, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
The opening paragraph reads that there have been "two major Palestinian Arab uprisings known as the First Intifada and the Second Intifada (see Israeli–Palestinian conflict), and a broad series of other armed engagements rooted in the Arab–Israeli conflict." Should the recent war be included in this mention of Palestinian uprisings? In any case, it might already seem notable enough to be mentioned and linked in the introduction. 84.169.235.246 ( talk) 10:47, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
The table is useful but its presentation is confused. Does it present a list of conflicts based on the Israeli perspective or not? On the one hand the introduction to the table says only conflicts in bold are considered as wars by Israel (as opposed, presumably, to mere skirmishes or disorder). On the other hand the results column list victories, clearly only victories for the Israeli side.
My suggestions: - Re-word the introductory sentence to the table as follows: "The following table lists conflicts involving Israel. Conflicts officially considered as wars by the Israeli Ministry of Defense (as opposed to mere skirmishes or civil disorder) are marked in bold." - Give a better reference ... note 3 is to another Wikipedia entry on Israeli military decorations so I am not sure what is meant to be learned from there. - In the results column "Victory" should be changed to "Israeli victory". The latter is unambiguous and there should be no presumption for what readers understand by the former. Hajjamda ( talk) 11:39, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
