Hebrew article

We might consider linking this article to the Hebrew page. --Sreifa (talk) 09:28, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, although the subject is not the same. It's too bad that they chose to write about the monument only, when it's only relevant in the context of the battle, but perhaps if we find sources we can add more info on the monument. Do you have access to the source that HeWiki lists? —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 12:11, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

that's why i didn't link it automatically, but I do think there should be some kind of 2 way ref. i don't have the Heb. source, sorry. Are these the right coordinates? 31.238958,34.338156 --Sreifa (talk) 13:41, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The coordinates for the monument seem accurate. I believe the battle was slightly off though, maybe in that military base just north. I suggest adding the coordinates for now and I will check this out again later. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 13:54, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Invasion of Israel

"the first day of the Egyptian invasion of Israel" is perhaps inaccurate? Padres Hana (talk) 14:54, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong with this sentence? —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 19:32, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
