Talk:Entebbe raid

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 20 April 2024
Change "One of the dead hostages, Dora Bloch, had been murdered" To "One of the dead hostages, Dora Bloch, was murdered" The first sentence gives the impression that she was already dead when the raid happened, which is false.--HeloPait (talk) 19:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC) HeloPait (talk) 19:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Delete portion of Aircraft refueling section that goes as follows: "While several East African nations, including the logistically preferred choice Kenya, were sympathetic, none wished to incur the wrath of Amin or the Palestinians by allowing the Israelis to land their aircraft within their borders." Cannot find a reasonable reliable source that claims this; books like 90 Days in Entebbe seem to say the exact opposite, mentioning that Kenya was the only country in East Africa with leadership sympathetic to the raid operation.

Name not accurate
The name "raid" in the title is not accurate and should be "operation." The raid to release the hostages was one aspect of the larger operation, but it was not the only event. Additionally, it is reffered to as an operation in several places in the article itself, including when linking to official Israel documents. 5.28.189.222 (talk) 23:25, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

July 3 vs July 4
Should the date be kept as July 4 or changed to July 3? I understand the raid ended on the fourth but it started on the third and as such many Israelis commemorate it on the third (I don't have a source for that as it is anecdotal from an Israeli friend so feel free to ignore that part of my statement if not having a source bothers you). This is not a formal edit request as I think we should discuss first what it should be. Jacob p12 (talk) 01:33, 5 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Why not just put 3–4 July? Although from what I can tell, very little happened on 4 July. –CWenger ( ^ •  @ ) 02:27, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
