Tag and edit war

 * the tag is justified because there are sentences without sources that are dubious.
 * please, don't remove references from wp:rs such as Yoav Gelber and Domique Lapierre and Larry Collins.
 * There is a full section just to remind that guivati brigade took part of the operation. It is no-sense given it is already in the article above. I will remove this if no objection.

begging and end of operation nachshon
The orders were given on April 2, A telegraph confirming the begging of the operation that night was rleased on April 5, 1948.

As too the end of the operation, I'm not sure if it's april 15, 1948 - or April 20th, 1948. At this pont of time, it don't make any difference - so let's leave it there on this date for now. --Shevashalosh (talk) 18:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * To be very precise, it is April 15 but the next step, Operation Harel was in the same context and was the continuity of the operation. Diversion attacks of the operation started April 2. The telegraph is the order to start the main offensive. Ceedjee (talk) 07:34, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Deir Yassin massacre
Was the Deir Yassin massacre a part of this operation?

Per Haaretz: "The assault on the village of Deir Yassin began on the morning of April 9, 1948, as part of Operation Nachshon to break through the blockaded road to Jerusalem."

Plan Dalet
I removed from the lead the description of Plan Dalet as "a set of guidelines for taking control of the territory allotted to Palestinian Jews by the 1947 UN Partition Plan, and defending its borders and people, including the Palestinian Jewish population outside the borders, 'before, and in anticipation of' the invasion by regular Arab armies.[3][4] According to the Israeli Yehoshafat Harkabi, "Plan Dalet" called for the conquest of Arab towns and villages inside and along the borders of the area allocated to the proposed Jewish State pursuant to the UN Partition Plan."

This is inaccurate and misleading. Plan Dalet was not "a set of guidelines for taking control of the territory allotted to Palestinian Jews by the 1947 UN Partition Plan", much of the territory taken in Plan Dalet was outside of the designated Jewish part of the UN Partition Plan. Yehoshafat Harkabi's charaterization is not due to be presented in the lead and shows how biased this page is currently.
