2026 Iran war

The article lists under US casualties that there have been "42 aircraft lost", which is inaccurate as the sourced article states "42 aircraft lost or damaged", as it mentions examples such as an F-35 being damaged by missile fire, but surviving.

"42 aircraft lost" should be simply changed to "42 aircraft lost or damaged" Emkut7 (talk) 22:06, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Is this how we do it in other articles? Daniel Case (talk) 03:01, 14 August 2026 (UTC)
I am unaware of specific policy but the Gulf War page uses “destroyed/damaged” which also works and fixes the inaccuracy. Emkut7 (talk) 08:21, 14 August 2026 (UTC)
Let me also point out that the page literally uses “destroyed or damaged” in the info box for everything except that one line for some reason. Emkut7 (talk) 08:23, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Gaza war

The infobox of article states that over 1,154 Israeli security personnel died in the war, which is incorrect. The cited source clearly states that figure also includes soldiers killed by Hezbollah attacks, fighting in Lebanon, the West Bank and other fronts, as well as those who died due to accidents or even suicide, which is what their remembrance day (Yom Hazikaron) commemorates every year. The infobox is supposed to include only those who were killed in the October 7 attacks and fighting in Gaza ever since. I'd like to ask someone to please replace the number 1,154 for 864 using the following source (per WP:CALC, it's the sum of 331 soldiers and 58 police officers killed in Israel on October 7 plus 473 soldiers and 2 policemen killed in Gaza during the war): [1] Therefore, the total number of Israelis killed in the war (both civilians and security personnel) at the end of infobox should say 1,751+ (including dead hostages) instead of 2,041+

If that is too complicated, at least a footnote should be added to the 1,154 number saying the figure includes those killed in other related fronts of the war. Thank you very much. Davidhiestand (talk) 22:43, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

Gaza genocide

there is no war within gaza, the state of Palestine has no army, naval, or air forces so simply put there isnt a war since one of the participants in this "war" have no weapons to fight against israel, israel has constantly been sending bombs/gas bombing/starving the people of Palestine, i have to reiterate this is NOT a war unless both parties have weapons to defend themselves, israel by the means of taxpayer dollars of the united states, the united kingdom, and most of the european union are able to strictly ethnically cleanse the Palestinian people from their homeland, the world is ridden with pro zionism and less for pro humanity, if you truly believe israel is in the right you are brainwashed and need to be educated, killing children and women for the sake of religious beliefs or the sake of being "gods chosen people" is immoral and evil, supporting israel is supporting the devil, its not like "islamophobia" where propoganda makes white people in the west afraid of brown people who hide their faces, anti-zionism is simply pro-humanity there are no other ways about it ~2026-44977-33 (talk) 03:23, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

As this is nothing but a rant in violation of ECR, simple reversion would probably have been better. But anyway, Requesting immediate archiving... The Bushranger One ping only 05:07, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
