Update info in the Template

In the Israeli side,

There are over 5,000 Israeli civilian victims. Only in 1947-2022 over 4,200 Israeli civilians were killed, not including over 800 Israeli civilians were killed in 2023. Showing less than 1,800 Israeli civilians were killed is misleading. IdanST (talk) 16:27, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

In the Arab side, the most recent estimate of Arab deaths in the Israel–Hamas war is 186,000. Source: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.129.246.100 (talk) 23:57, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

The 186,000 number is not 'the most recent estimate of Arab deaths in the Israel–Hamas war'. It is a projection based on a various assumptions. Sean.hoyland (talk) 08:05, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Portugal involvement?

can anyone let me know what was Portugal's involvement in the conflict? 93.102.33.60 (talk) 10:28, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

This page is for discussing improvements to the article, not for general discussion of its topic. However, I will indeed answer your question: Portugal allowed the US to use its air bases in the Azores during the Yom Kippur War. –PhoenixCaelestis • Talk • Contributions 21:48, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Double check death toll source?

Not too harsh on me if this is an obvious non-issue.

Citation 18 leads to a (ridiculously biased, but that's besides the point) website that has uncited death tolls for its totals.

The figures they give aren't too wild, save for a couple thousand inflated up or down but I do want to know where it actually sources its figures from. MagiTagi (talk) 15:05, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

The source has been removed here. See the JVL entry at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources. JVL is designated as 'generally unreliable' in Wikipedia. Sean.hoyland (talk) 01:20, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

That JVL article is a fine example of why JVL should not be used as a source. Zero^talk 01:21, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Infobox

This infobox in the lead section is too excessive, what should we do for the infobox? Absolutiva (talk) 06:19, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Edit request 25 March 2025

Description of suggested change: In infobox, change "Palestinian territories" to "Palestine". More cohesive and fits style of the other countries in infobox (uses common name rather than psudo-formal name for the land).

Map

@Skitash I saw you reverted my updated map, and while I disagree that a historical map should be favored over a current one, being that this is an ongoing conflict, I also recognize your concerns are legitimate.

What do you think about this: a new map, a variation of the one I previously put in, but it shows Egypt and Jordan in a lighter shade of green and marked as past parties in the conflict who have since made peace with Israel. Evaporation123 (talk) 06:18, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I think a map of the conflict should definitely feature states that historically engaged in wars with Israel. I also agree that the map should distinguish between past and present actors. Skitash (talk) 11:29, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Alright then, preparing a new one now. Evaporation123 (talk) 19:10, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
