Synthesis section is too Verbose.

Eg: the explosions of joy amongst the Jewish community were counterbalanced
by the expression of discontent amongst the Arab community

can be sinmplified to: say ; "Jews became happy and/though Arabs were left discontent".

Also, it can be merged with the background section

Reference in Footnote no 3 is an invalid link. IT supposedly refers to the UN resolution

Too many Duplicate statements. "...joy of the Jewish community were counterbalanced by ..." statement appears again in "Beginning of the Civil War" section in a modified form.

The Review is now Finished, Important points of the conflict are well covered, but there are some strong statements which need sourcing.They possibly came about during Translation from French.

Sections/topics with separate articles like the various individual operations can have smaller Summaries.

I have put the nomination on Hold for a week till 1 October 2009 0500 GMT.
