September 2024 Lebanon strikes23–24 September 2024 Israeli strikes into Lebanon – There is no reason why we should avoid mentioning the perpetrator of the strikes, Israel. Clearly, this decision is inconsistent with rest of similar articles on Wikipedia such as: October 2024 Iranian strikes against Israel and 1991 Iraqi missile attacks against Israel.

Mostly oppose - I have a few separate thoughts on this matter: 1) I support inclusion of "Israeli" both parties should be clarified. 2) I don't see why the nominator has only chosen to use 23–24 September when the prose says these attacks took place from 23–30 September. 3) I strongly oppose the use of "strikes" as a complete failure of WP:PRECISION. Optimally in this case would be "airstrikes" (as despite my prior lack of knowledge of a difference between airstrikes and ground-launched missiles, these seem to have been exclusively airstrikes). I would nonetheless equally support "attacks". 4) "into" just doesn't feel appropriate for non-ground incursions. TL;DR I'd equally support September 2024 Israeli airstrikes against Lebanon or September 2024 Israeli attacks against Lebanon. estar8806 (talk) 20:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Like @Estar8806, I'd prefer different wording. I'd go for September 2024 Israeli airstrikes against Lebanon or September 2024 Israeli attacks against Lebanon. The use of into is awkward and strikes is imprecise. If nominator were to change this to one of the options above, I'd support it. Lewisguile (talk) 06:00, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is it about attacks against Lebanon since 23 September? Between 23 September and the 1 October invasion? On 23 September? FunLater (talk) 23:03, 9 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

The infobox says 23–30 September 2024. We may need to change the tense of the opening, though, to clarify we're limiting it to that date range. Lewisguile (talk) 10:28, 10 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
