Lars Adaktusson as a neutral source

In the Media coverage section, there's a section where Lars Adaktusson is used a source with him only being described as a journalist. Adaktusson is in fact the current chairman of the Sweden-Israel Friendship Association and was previously the chair of pro-Israel lobby organisation European Israel Public Affairs. I feel this information should be included if he is used as a source. Conspiracy Raven (talk) 20:49, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

End date

Ceasefire was August 14, but the war officially ended on September 8 just saying that info box should include that. Dilbaggg (talk) 06:53, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Add Lebanese Armed Forces to infobox?

There seemed to have been several confrontations between Israeli army and Lebanon army during the war:

• Israel attacked Lebanese Army Barracks.
• Israel attacked Lebanese Air Force base
• Lebanese army opened fire on Israeli helicopters trying to land
• According to this source, supposedly 49 Lebanese soldiers were killed.

As far as I'm aware, neither Israel nor Lebanon said they were at war with eachother. If they were, surely there would've been a lot more attacks than these few incidents. There were similar incidents between Israeli and UNIFIL soldiers, but we don't name UNIFIL as a belligerent. Your source for the airbase strike says that it "could draw the Lebanese army into Israel's war with Hizbullah guerrillas". We'd need something from Israeli or Lebanese officials, or from mainstream news outlets, saying that they were actually at war with eachother. – Asarlaí 09:32, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

The above sources are all reliable as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure what you mean by "mainstream outlets". Secondly, many times in history countries often participate in a conflict without declaring they are. No one is saying that Lebanon declared war on Israel but rather, the Lebanese forces participated in the conflict as a belligerent. In fact, the infobox currently lists Iran as a belligerent even though Iran did not explicity declare war on Israel, nor vice versa. Finally, 43 dead Lebanese soldiers is too large an amount to simply ignore.VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 16:16, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

It is really unfortunate that this discussion is being spread across several talk pages simultaneously. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 22:08, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

No need for a long discussion. Take the tag and put the sources in its place.Ghazaalch (talk) 10:31, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

POV tag

The lede has major POV issues. It gives only six lone sentences to the Israeli role in attacking Hezbollah, Lebanon and Lebanese civilian infrastructure, and dedicates the entirety of the last lede paragraph (which should focus on legacy of that war) on how -repetitively- no one disarmed Hezbollah. There is also POV language how "Israel responded" and "Hezbollah then launched." Nine sentences are dedicated to highlight how the war started with Hezbollah's actions. These are the actionable things that needs to be addressed for now. Makeandtoss (talk) 12:06, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
