In summary it says hezbollah won and infobox says inconclusive.

In summary, it says "Hezbollah claimed the war was a "Divine Victory", while Israel considered the war a failure and a missed opportunity." 202.47.36.141 (talk) 03:49, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Someone changed it because someone is biased and not neutral, his rights to edit should be taken away immeadiatley.

This is not a good representation of wikipedia and it's neutral code. Nobody should take any bias and should look at the facts which in this case is that israel lost. 2001:999:58C:1337:7E89:5A19:FBAC:F913 (talk) 10:03, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar error

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The article has a grammatical error under the section "Aftermath" in the subsection "Prisoner swap". In this paragraph is the following sentence: Until that time, Hezbollah had provide no information on Goldwasser and Regev's condition and disallowed the Red Cross from visiting them. Using "provide" here is incorrect, but replacing it with "provided" should fix the issue. So somebody who can edit the page should do so. Thank you!

"Fajr" should link to the weapon, not the prayer

In the sentence "attacked and destroyed 59 stationary medium-range Fajr rocket launchers", the word "Fajr" links to the prayer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fajr_prayer.

It ought to link to the weapon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fajr-5.

I'd edit it myself, but I don't have permission. Warsage (talk) 00:53, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lars Adaktusson as a neutral source

In the Media coverage section, there's a section where Lars Adaktusson is used a source with him only being described as a journalist. Adaktusson is in fact the current chairman of the Sweden-Israel Friendship Association and was previously the chair of pro-Israel lobby organisation European Israel Public Affairs. I feel this information should be included if he is used as a source. Conspiracy Raven (talk) 20:49, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

End date

Ceasefire was August 14, but the war officially ended on September 8 just saying that info box should include that. Dilbaggg (talk) 06:53, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
