Talk:1972 Israeli air raid in Syria and Lebanon

Confused Article
The title of this article is 1972 air raid on Lebanon, and the infobox indicates that the raid occurred on the 9th September 1972 as part of Operation "Wrath of God".

The article then goes on to describe an event in April 1973, wrongly identified as part of Operation "Spring of Youth" (I say wrongly, as the event described sounds very like a "Wrath of God" operation described in J. Bowyer Bell, Irving Louis Horowitz (2005) Assassin: Theory and Practice of Political Violence, pp137, Transaction Publishers, ISBN 1-4128-0509-0 (Retrieved 2010 May 4)).

Article needs to decide which event it is going to be about. Please do not simply blank the article! because it is the wrong event / article name, but rather edit it to match the title, or rename it to match the details of the event described. I've placed the full reference above as it might be useful if consensus dictates a rename to retain article about the April 1973 raids. Best wishes --Haruth (talk) 05:11, 4 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm. Scrub that. 1973_Israeli_raid_on_Lebanon already exists. This article needs rewritten entirely to reflect the events described in the article title, or deleted. Best wishes --Haruth (talk) 06:17, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I originally wrote this article, and it ended up being deleted because I had apparently written about the wrong thing. Yet if you look at the article, it is now back up. --Mjs1991 (talk) 22:18, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The real event is not covered, it should be, also the raids on Syria. Both killed hundreds of people with no relation to Black September. FunkMonk (talk) 02:45, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Anonmoos just moved the article, but that's hardly helpful. The problem is not the distinction between raid and airaid, but between to different events that happened a year apart. The current article is about an event that happened in 73, whereas the title refers to airraids in 72. FunkMonk (talk) 21:51, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

A DIFFERENT RAID
This airstrike was an Israeli attack against Palestinian fedayeen camps in Lebanon three days after the Munich massacre happened (and YES, it was a response for that massacre). I read this information in a book of Arab-Israeli history and also can be seen in Steven Spielberg's Munich film when, after the massacre was perpetrated, an Israeli general said to Golda Meir "we have already destroyed Palestinian camps in Lebanon, killing several terrorists and wounding many more". Before deleting this article, we should investigate more about this important event.--190.16.232.216 (talk) 02:58, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * But the article has already been changed. It's not about the 1973 commando raid anymore. FunkMonk (talk) 03:42, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
