Talk:Israeli military action in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict

POV title

I found the title of this article POV. It states that all Israeli actions in Lebanon are "responses" to Hezbollah's rockets, whereas in the other side of the conflict, Hezbollah has stated that his attacks are reactions and not actions. I'm not taking sides, but to make the title NPOV a new wording should be choosed. CG 06:10, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just be bold and move it. CG 06:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Analysis

I'm not sure where thsi should go, nor if it is even prominent enough to be included, Tewfik^Talk 21:16, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Clean Break"

Analysts and commentators such as Karen Kwiatkowski have pointed to the similarities between the proposed actions in the 1996 Clean Break report, and the present conflict.[1]

It doesn't have much to do with military action. It belongs in a article discussing the political causes of the conflict. --172.193.4.229 21:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think We need a timeline dating all the military operations and actions. [Zonerocks] 23:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Merge this with older article about the same thing

This article is redundant. There is already an article Military operations of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict. There is a main article on the conflict, 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict and there is an article with a timeline. Why not move any new controbutions here to one of those articles?Edison 05:14, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fully agree.--Cerejota 08:15, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Myself as well. --Gregorof 02:58, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As long as you dont change intro. or take out a majority of the stuff here, I Agree.Doge120 04:15, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Second Introductory Paragraph

The second introductory paragraph currently reads as follows:

"Israel warned Lebanese civilians of Hezbollah strongholds to evacuate their cities ahead of time through leaflets. Many Lebanese civilians did not evacuate. According to Human Rights Watch, many Lebanese people can not flee from the south because roads are under Israeli attack which Israel defends claiming that such attacks will obstruct Hezbollah from transporting arms. HRW says that according to their observations and reports from independent new source, none of the attacks on vehicles resulted in Hezbollah killings or the hindrance in the transportation of weapons. Instead, those who were killed and wounded in Israeli artillery and aerial attacks were civilians attempting to evacuate after receiving the leaflets; many of the civilian vehicles attacked were flying white flags. Furthermore, many Lebanese are not able to leave due to illness, wounds sustained in Israeli attacks, or providing services to civilians. HRW asserted that warnings in advance do not justify Israel's targeting of and attacks on civilians.

Although this information is correct, I think the information would be more appropriate in the Targeting of civilian areas in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict article. Does anyone disagree? --GHcool 15:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it can be added. But I think we should keep it as well.--Zonerocks 16:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you think it is un-NPOV to keep it? --GHcool 16:53, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Information on Israeli attacks on civilians should be mentioned in this article as it is part of the "Israeli military action in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict." The article Targeting of civilian areas in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict is an extensive discussion on the subject of attacks on civilians, so the section could be added there as well, if there isn't something similar already.

Anyway, the paragraph doesn't have to be in the introduction but definitely any where it is mentioned that Israelis passed out leaflets. --Inahet 17:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I'll move it now. Thanks. --GHcool 15:58, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Section

Should there be a section for goals of the military operation, and also shouldn't we add that all military actions have been stopped for the moment as there is now a cease fire. --Zonerocks 16:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe so. I believe this should replace the second introductory paragraph since it will nicely summarize the beginning and ending of the military actions and will be completely NPOV. --GHcool 16:54, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
