Created by CarmenEsparzaAmoux (talk). Self-nominated at 07:41, 22 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Bombing of Gaza; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

General eligibility:
New enough:
Long enough: - Not met, per WP:DYKSPLIT
Other problems: - Splits from non-new articles are ineligible, but if the copied text does not exceed one-fifth of the total prose size, the article can be considered eligible as a fivefold expansion of the copied text.

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral: - There is a lot of imprecise language: "Experts stated", "Experts warned", "Public health experts", unqualified uses of "large" etc. Needs a thorough copyedit.
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Other problems: - Combined with the above imprecise language throughout, the article needs a thorough copy edit.

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Unfortunately, this article is currently ineligible for DYK as the majority of its content has been sourced from other Wikipedia articles, and as far as I can tell the 5x expansion requirement for this kind of DYK has not been met. My recommendation is to nominate the article at GA as this would mean the article would meet the third newness clause: promoted to good article status; Seddon ^talk 22:53, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
