Duma arson attack

This has been reinstated to the lead, despite it having had a death toll of three. Killings with death tolls multiple times higher happened in small towns such as Dunblane, Enniskillen, Hungerford & Omagh. However, there's no mention of the Dunblane massacre, Remembrance Day bombing, the Hungerford massacre or the Omagh bombing in the leads of those articles, despite those mass murders certainly being the things that those towns are best-known for.

The leads of those other articles should be discussed on their talk pages. For this article, the single thing that this village is most famous for right up to a few days ago is a fair choice I think. Zero^talk 13:56, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We don't usually include attacks in the leads of articles about human settlements & I don't know of a policy guideline or ruling that we should. I don't see that this one, with a death toll of 3, should be an exception. Of course, the attack should be mentioned in the article, but the paragraph in the 1967-present section is sufficient. Jim Michael (talk) 14:18, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Itamar is quite similar. But you are right in most cases. Zero^talk 15:31, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone been convicted for these killings? Either way, the article intro or later section needs to be amended accordingly.
