Ijlil al-Shamaliyya

(

)

... that in January 1948, during the civil war in Mandatory Palestine, the Palestinian Arab residents of Ijlil al-Shamaliyya pledged neutrality with the Haganah, but left the village months later?

Looks good to me. New enough expansion, no neutrality issues (well done in this controversial subject), long enough, hook cited inline. —Cliftonian (talk) 12:37, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

The article is worded more neutrally than the hook: the article says "left" and that they asked their Jewish neighbors to keep an eye on their property, while the hook says "fled", a less neutral word. (The source uses the word "departed".) BlueMoonset (talk) 15:12, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Hmmm, I didn't notice that. I looked at the article, which used the word "left" rather than "fled"; my fault, I should have looked closer at the hook. I would also use the word "left" here rather than "fled". —Cliftonian (talk) 15:26, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Pretty sure they left out of fear, but I changed "fled" to "left" to keep in line with the sources used. --Al Ameer (talk) 17:06, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Hook adjustment is fine and it now aligns with sources; restoring approval. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:22, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
