Created by CarmenEsparzaAmoux (talk). Self-nominated at 07:41, 22 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Bombing of Gaza; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- General eligibility:
- New enough:
- Long enough: - Not met, per WP:DYKSPLIT
- Other problems: -
Splits from non-new articles are ineligible, but if the copied text does not exceed one-fifth of the total prose size, the article can be considered eligible as a fivefold expansion of the copied text.
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral: - There is a lot of imprecise language: "Experts stated", "Experts warned", "Public health experts", unqualified uses of "large" etc. Needs a thorough copyedit.
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- Other problems: - Combined with the above imprecise language throughout, the article needs a thorough copy edit.

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Unfortunately, this article is currently ineligible for DYK as the majority of its content has been sourced from other Wikipedia articles, and as far as I can tell the 5x expansion requirement for this kind of DYK has not been met. My recommendation is to nominate the article at GA as this would mean the article would meet the third newness clause: promoted to good article status;

Change Israel's bombing campaign of the Gaza Strip began within hours of Hamas militants and their allies entering into Israel. The citation (10) does not match/support the statement.
It should read: Oct. 7, 2023: Air raid sirens begin sounding in Jerusalem around 6:30 a.m. local time, warning citizens of the attack in progress and to immediately take cover. An estimated 2,200 rockets were fired toward southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, by the Hamas militants. Armed Hamas terrorists and citizens of Gaza, many on motorcycles, storm blockaded areas, shooting at and slaughtering people in kibbutzim and small towns. Video footage surfaces of Hamas militants taking people -- including mothers, small children, and the elderly -- hostage and carrying them across the Gaza border.[1] Over 1,200 people were murdered in Israel, citizens and non-citizens alike, and over 200 people were taken hostage [1]
Israel's air raid response began on Oct. 17. [2] Ewereallythinkthat (talk) 09:23, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Not done Citation does support statement. Relevant quotation from the 7 October 2023 New York Times article reads: "Hamas fired thousands of rockets toward Israeli cities, and Palestinian militants crossed into southern Israel, killing civilians and holding Israelis hostage.
Israel retaliated with major strikes across the blockaded Gaza Strip, leveling multistory buildings, including a residential building with approximately 100 units."[1] CarmenEsparzaAmoux (talk) 21:30, 24 June 2024 (UTC)- It seems like a fair point that
within hours
doesn't appear to be backed up by the NYT article, though, no? — xDanielx T/C\R 22:35, 24 June 2024 (UTC)- That's actually a really good point. The Times didn't give a timeline of the day. I'll edit that. CarmenEsparzaAmoux (talk) 23:56, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Hamas's use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes
editHamas and the rest of the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip are using civilian infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, humanitarian zones, etc, for military purposes. The terrorist organization Hamas even released a video of one of their terrorists using the civilian area in Rafah as a launch site [2].
Ignoring the fact that the civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip is used for military purposes is painting a wrong picture of reality, which for starters de-legitimizes Israel's right to defend itself against the ones trying to kill its civilians, and also is extremely harmful for the civilians of Gaza who are being used as human shields by those terrorist organizations.
