Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 17 May 2024[edit]

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Omar Ferwana. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please change "On 17 December 1992, he was expelled by Israel along with 414 other leading figures of Hamas and Islamic Jihad to Marj al-Zohour in southern Lebanon, beyond the Israeli Security Zone."

to "On 17 December 1992, he was expelled by Israel to Marj al-Zohour in southern Lebanon, beyond the Israeli Security Zone."

The current edition "along with other leading figures" clearly implies that he was also a leading figure of Hamas or Islamic Jihad. I have searched extensively for evidence of this and not found any. The Arabic version of this entry which contains very similar information to the English version does not state this, so it appears to have been added either deliberately or otherwise and is misleading. Clear evidence is required in order to allege that a doctor was a leading figure of a group like this, which has not been provided.

The arabic section is quoted here: كان من ضمن مبعدي مرج الزهور في 17 ديسمبر 1992، حيث عمل مسؤولًا للجنة الطبيَّة في المخيم، and does not include this reference.
