POV issues
We can't state Israel's POV in wikivoice. That Israel targeted military facilities is its POV and should be stated with attribution. NPR quotes the Houthis as saying Israel targeted "civilian facilities, oil tanks and the electrical power station in the city of Hodeidah". Both views should be stated with attribution.VR (Please ping on reply) 20:32, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Name of operation
According to the idf, the name of the operation is "OUTSTRETCHED ARM" and not long arm. Ddaamm (talk) 20:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Was the attack on "Yemen" or a "Houthi faction" that is actually in rebellion against Yemen
In ordinary Wikiprose, a country name typically refers to a government of the country. Was this attack on the "country of Yemen" when we say in wikivoice that it was an attack on Yemen? Or was it an attack on a particular faction, that carries considerable political authority in a part of the geography of what is inside the country border of Yemen, and is actually in rebellion against another major? faction of the government of Yemen?
Either way, we should clarify that in the article title, as "strikes on Yemen" leaves it entirely unclear as to what entity was attacked. N2e (talk) 21:16, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, the attack was on the Houthis, who in the area that was struck are the de facto government of Yemen. Either way, the attacks fell inside the geographic boundaries of the country of Yemen, so the strikes were on Yemen (and the Houthis). Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 21:19, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Samad 3
The article describes the Samad 3 drone as “Iranian made.” There is no good sourcing on who makes the drone, with some claiming it is produced in Yemen. As this article is not the place to resolve this issue and the manufacturer of the drone is not the most relevant information, it might be best to not include language to this effect at all. 66.44.35.197 (talk) 23:36, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
