Not going to open a formal move request (yet), but there is a pretty good chance that we see further retaliation from Iran, and maybe even more retaliation from Israel. I believe it would be better to narrow it down, although it could wait until if there are future strikes. RPI2026F1 (talk) 04:35, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

A possible move would be to remove the word "retaliatory" from the title as it may be an unnecessary disambiguator but I'm not biased to either title. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 04:38, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Maybe in the future, we condense down all future strikes into a single article? I don't know if each potential future round of retaliation will be worthy of independent articles, just as there is not an article for every strike the proxy groups do to Israel. RPI2026F1 (talk) 04:41, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Well if there is further rounds of retaliation there is likely to be a full-blown war, which would certainly have its own article, but I see your point. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 04:42, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

I will suggest to merge the article with 2024 Iranian Attack in Israel. And rename that article’s name to “2024 Iran-Israel Conflict” or War” Grabup (talk) 04:43, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

It is not a war yet, conflict is likely a good stop-gap from now. It's a personal opinion that the world superpowers will not allow the conflict to escalate to a full-on war, as unlike the Russian "special military operation", there is near-unanimous calls for "restraint" from the rest of the world. RPI2026F1 (talk) 04:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

There already is an article about the conflict itself and full war is not certain yet, so I think for now it is fine. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 04:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

The name of this article should be changed. The first “actual” retaliatory attack article is titled “2024 Iranian strikes in Israel” without mentioning “retaliatory” word at the title and how come this article can be titled as retaliatory? People will say that Wikipedia is biased to Israel.

I don’t think this is a retaliatory attack as Israel provoked Iran first and the “actual” retaliation is done by Iran not Israel. Grabup (talk) 05:06, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes, they both were retaliations, as the two countries seem to be wrapped up in a big retaliation cycle, and don't show signs of wanting to stop it. I agree with the name change but there should be a RM first rather than moving without consensus. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 05:09, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

The background section is brobdingnagian as it is –I'm tempted to collapse it. There's no term that's commodious yet accurate enough (which we can cite) that covers everything from the initial bombing of the Iranian embassy compound to this... quadrocopter infilitration‽ kencf0618 (talk) 12:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

The 2024 Israeli strikes was NOT a missile attack, there was no proof of a missile attack whatsoever, Israel conducted a limited strike I'm gonna cite an article from the Atlantic Council , yet the first two lines report a missile "strikes" even though a US official *claimed* one missile struck Iran, so it wasn't "Strikes" just a strikes without including the Drone strike of course and interestingly the article's security has been upped by an Administrator, so I kindly request the Wikipedia how are authorized to edit this page, to update the information and according to Wikipedia standards

Please anyone counter it, if you have reliable sources. Grabup (talk) 14:57, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Bloomberg and Reuters reported these strikes as limited strikes and only mentiones drone strikes. Grabup (talk) 15:14, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

An editor just made this very weird edit removing a sourced content by CNN and replacing it with an entirely new contradicting content citing a twitter post from an unknown unverified twitter account (completely not WP:RS in the first place). I suggest speedy undoing this edit.

Edit: the times of israel cited and recycled the same post on twitter but the post itself was deleted by the same user who made it.

Stephan rostie (talk) 20:59, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

The article states that Israel conducted Airstrikes which was changed from Drone strike, the actual attack was a drone strike as reported my multiple sources including Reuters Drone strike is any strike conducted via drones, while airstrike is a strike in general it MAY include drones, but I don't understand why a more specific term would be changed to a broader term for no reason. I do acknowledge that a US official claimed 2-3 missiles were launched but considering a statement from ONE official of ONE country as fact is just not how Wikipedia works, I kindly Wikipedia editors who are authorized to edit this article to edit this page and to update the information in accordance with fact and not claims made my countries.

Regards, Mujiwins (talk) 18:39, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Early reports said it was a drone attack but latest reports from US and Israeli officials say it has been an airstrike launched by Israeli aircraft. Citations are located in the article. Ecrusized (talk) 20:53, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

When did Israeli officials say it? cite it please because I only heard a US official "claiming" it Mujiwins (talk) 22:59, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Now Wikipedia editors are relying on citing twitter posts? This isn't up to Wikipedia standards, this edit should be reverted immediately

Regards, Mujiwins (talk) 23:08, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Add "Alleged" to the title of the article. Neither Iran nor Israel acknowledge that there has been any attack by Israel in Iran. Iran even provided proof that there has been no attack. What anonymous U.S. official said shouldn't be given so much weight. Crampcomes (talk) 00:06, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

There certainly was an attack done on Iran by somebody, and even if Israel denies it, missiles/drones were certainly shot down, and Israel is the only country that would reasonably attack Iran at this point, so adding "alleged" seems a little bit biased. A week or so ago the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus was "allegedly" done by Israel, but there was little room for arguing to say anyone else had done it, and Israel later confirmed it.

Additionally, please do not move the page at this point without achieving consensus as you just did. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 00:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Was it not confirmed by multiple reliable sources? RPI2026F1 (talk) 01:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
