Why is this article called "Operation Wrath of God" when the footnote acknowledges that this term does not appear in any official document, and almost every source that refers to this event refers to it as Operation Bayonet? Even searching for the Hebrew of the title name provides very few non-Wikipedia sources. -- 70.131.114.241 ( talk) 07:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) CLYDE TALK TO ME/ STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 05:34, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Operation Wrath of God → Mossad assassinations following the Munich massacre – see above discussion Huldra ( talk) 21:51, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
The initial sentence ends with
"...directed by Israel and the Mossad to assassinate individuals alleged to have been directly or indirectly involved in the 1972 Munich massacre."
This wording looks strange as Israel is a country and Mossad a government agency, presumably acting on the orders given by the Israeli government. Would anyone mind if I amended the sentence?

I note that theres no attempt to account the number of casualties caused in the article, either deliberate on both sides or innocent bystanders. WatcherZero ( talk) 03:08, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Although there is a source for this (which is Jonas' famous book Vengeance), there are no other historical evidences of that assassination. Not even in the Netherlands media of the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.206.116.120 ( talk) 11:34, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
Of the two sources for this event, one leads to a dead website and other goes to a blog which does not cite any primary literature. This seems unreliable. -- WintermuteKnows ( talk) 03:14, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
If these problems are not tended to, the article will be sent to WP:FAR. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 02:23, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

The article mentions the author of the book Striking Back, as Aaron Klein, and it has a hyperlink. It has the wrong hyperlink to the wrong person. The author of Striking Back is Aaron J. Klein (different person) not Aaron Klein. See Aaron J. Klein Wikipedia page. Beanlowry ( talk) 05:40, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
In the "reactions" section, there is a whole story about foiled assassination attempt of golda meir when she visited romein 1973 to meet the pope, and the dramatic way the attempt was thwarted. Here is the problem:
-I could not find any information about this foiled attempt anywhere else (except couple of articles that copied wikipedia word to word)
-The links provided don't have the information anymore, and the articles that do open just talk about her visit and nothing about the foiled attempt.
If this really happened, can someone provide some reliable links that work?
If not then this foiled attempt information should be removed or should be mentioned that this is unconfirmed. 2600:1700:2E2F:C210:E10D:A760:1623:F3B1 ( talk) 21:58, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
This article's reference's cite "Reeve" extensively. However, the actual book by Reeve has accidentally been edited out. All the references are just to "Reeve <page num>" assuming the book by Simon Reeve is previously cited in more detail but he isn't.
This is the full correct Reeve citation: <ref>Reeve, Simon. ''One Day in September: The Full Story of the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre and the Israeli Revenge Operation "Wrath of God"''. New York City: Arcade Publishing, 2006 p. 159 ISBN 1-5597-0813-1</ref>
