Talk:Palestinian Fedayeen insurgency
Infiltrators
[edit]A recent edit [1] has suggested that this topic is separate from the Palestinian return to Israel (infiltration) going on at the same time. This doesn't make sense to me - they were intimately related. Can anyone explain? Onceinawhile (talk) 22:49, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
- Sure. This article is about Fedayeen insurgency, not civilian infiltrations. There's a separate article for those unarmed and intending to return for economic or social reasons, namely Palestinian return to Israel.--יניב הורון (Yaniv) (talk) 00:49, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Can you find me a single source which deals with one of these topics without the other? Every single source I have seen, on both sides of the spectrum, deals with them as a combined topic. See for example:

- We have three separate articles essentially dealing with the same topic (Palestinian Fedayeen insurgency, Reprisal operations and Palestinian return to Israel) - if they are not to be combined, we should at least ensure the links are crystal clear in the leads.

- Don't worry. We have both links in Background and Retribution operations.--יניב הורון (Yaniv) (talk) 13:10, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Good point. So they should also be covered in the lead as well per WP:LEAD. I see Reprisal operations is already linked in the lead, so all that is needed is to add back the link to Palestinian return to Israel that you removed. Onceinawhile (talk) 14:17, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Done. Have a good day.--יניב הורון (Yaniv) (talk) 15:08, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
