 * Strong Rename – while I am generally against the word "alleged" in many Wikipedia contexts, especially in article titles, calling these strikes "Israeli airstrikes" is a serious case of WP:OR. All of the airstrikes happened significantly later than Israel's one and only hint (not a confirmation) that it was operating in Iraq, against Iranian targets. There is also no evidence that all of the listed airstrikes were carried out by the same party. As for whether the article should be kept, I think there is enough notability to keep it—provided the strikes are examined on a case by case basis, with sufficient WP:RS linking between them. Otherwise clumping them together is a form of WP:OR as well. —Ynhockey (Talk) 20:44, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
