If we can't find anything before 2016, it could be converted to "death of Mahmoud Eshtewi", but starting with the person for now. MWQs (talk) 17:23, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been looking for anything before his arrest and I'm not having much luck. His name is spelled about 6 ways in English. Searching in Arabic I've found he had a very common name. I found two guys in Balata refugee camp, one was still alive in 2018 another was shot to death in about 2006. So I'm not confident that the one pre-2015 story is the same person?

Removed: Before the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip, Eshtewi was in Balata refugee camp in the West Bank, where he was arrested in 2005.^[1]

I'm tentatively leaving this as a person, pending a couple of other opinions on changing it to "death of…"

I also suggest changing to "death" or "killing" of, due to the apparent lack of information, even in Arabic sources The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 07:24, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Changed to "death" now. I'm not sure why I picked death instead of killing, to be honest it just "sounded right", but I think that's because the alleged execution was so sudden that there was a bit of debate about what actually killed him, and death is more fitting for the possibility of "death in custody" or "tortured to death"?

@The Great Mule of Eupatoria, can you find his starters names? Was it always the same sister? MWQs (talk) 08:03, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
