{"yemeni-revolution":{"extract":"The Yemeni revolution, also known as the Yemeni intifada, was a series of major anti-government protests and armed uprisings that raged through Yemen from January 2011 to February 2012. It occurred concurrently with the Arab Spring that broke out throughout the Middle East and North Africa in 2011. In its early phase, protests in Yemen were initially against unemployment, economic conditions, corruption, and the authoritarian regime led by President Ali Abdullah Saleh as well as against the government's proposals to modify Yemen's constitution. The protesters' demands then escalated to calls for the resignation of Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh. Mass defections from the military, as well as from Saleh's government, effectively rendered much of the country outside of the government's control, and protesters vowed to defy its authority.\n\nA major demonstration of over 16,000 protesters took place in Sanaa, Yemen's capital, on 27 January. On 2 February, Saleh announced he would not run for reelection in 2013 and that he would not pass power to his son. On 3 February, 20,000 people protested against the government in Sanaa, while others protested in Aden, a southern Yemeni seaport city, in a \"Day of Rage\" called for by Tawakel Karman, while soldiers, armed members of the General People's Congress and many protesters held a pro-government rally in Sanaa. In a \"Friday of Anger\" on 18 February, tens of thousands of Yemenis took part in anti-government demonstrations in Taiz, Sanaa and Aden. On a \"Friday of No Return\" on 11 March, protesters called for Saleh's ousting in Sanaa where three people were killed. More protests were held in other cities, including Mukalla, where one person was killed. On 18 March, protesters in Sanaa were fired upon, resulting in 52 deaths and ultimately culminating in mass defections and resignations.\n\nStarting in late April, Saleh agreed to a Gulf Cooperation Council-brokered deal, only to back away hours before the scheduled signing three times. After the third time, on 22 May, the GCC declared it was suspending its efforts to mediate in Yemen. On 23 May, a day after Saleh refused to sign the transition agreement, Sheikh Sadiq al-Ahmar, the head of the Hashid tribal federation, one of the most powerful tribes in the country, declared support for the opposition and his armed supporters came into conflict with loyalist security forces in the capital Sanaa. Heavy street fighting ensued, which included artillery and mortar shelling. Saleh and several others were injured and at least five people were killed by a 3 June bombing of the presidential compound when an explosion ripped through a mosque used by high-level government officials for prayer services. Reports conflicted as to whether the attack was caused by shelling or a planted bomb. The next day, Vice President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi took over as acting president while Saleh flew to Saudi Arabia to be treated. The crowds celebrated Saleh's transfer of power, but Yemeni officials insisted that Saleh's absence was temporary and he would soon return to Yemen to resume his duties of office.\n\nIn early July, the government rejected the opposition's demands, including the formation of a transitional council with the goal of formally transferring power from the current administration to a caretaker government intended to oversee Yemen's first-ever democratic elections. In response, factions of the opposition announced the formation of their own 17-member transitional council on 16 July, though the Joint Meeting Parties that have functioned as an umbrella for many of the Yemeni opposition groups during the uprising said the council did not represent them and did not match their \"plan\" for the country.\n\nOn 23 November, Saleh signed a power-transfer agreement brokered by the Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh, under which he would transfer his power to his vice-president, Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, within 30 days and leave his post as president by February 2012, in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Although the GCC deal was accepted by the JMP, it was rejected by many of the protesters and the Houthis. A presidential election was held in Yemen on 21 February 2012, with Hadi running unopposed. A report claims that the election had a 65% turnout, with Hadi receiving 99.8% of the vote. Hadi took the oath of office in Yemen's parliament on 25 February 2012. Saleh returned home on the same day to attend Hadi's inauguration. After months of protests, Saleh resigned from the presidency on 27 February 2012 and formally transferred power to his successor, marking the end of his 33-year rule.","extract_retrieved_at":"2026-09-26","wikipedia_revid":1376086193,"wikipedia_revid_timestamp":"2026-09-22T00:11:58Z","wikipedia_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yemeni_revolution","wikidata_qid":"Q210005","wikidata_classes":["rebellion","protest","armed conflict"],"date_flags":[],"wikipedia_lead_dates":[],"coordinate_source":"country-fallback:Yemen","text_from_article":null,"hand_picked":true,"date_precision":"day","framing_review":{"fairness":{"found":false,"note":null,"highlights":[]},"wording":{"found":false,"findings":[],"highlights":[]},"highlights":[],"category_note":null,"data_note":null,"disclosure":null,"reviewed_on":"2026-09-30","stale":false},"part_of":[{"qid":"Q33761","label":"Arab Spring","id":"arab-spring"}],"related":{"shared_parent":[{"id":"egyptian-revolution-of-2011","title":"2011 Egyptian revolution","date_start":"2011-01-25"},{"id":"2011-2012-iranian-protests","title":"2011–2012 Iranian protests","date_start":"2011-02-14"},{"id":"2011-bahraini-uprising","title":"2011 Bahraini uprising","date_start":"2011-02-14"},{"id":"iraqi-insurgency-2011-2013","title":"Iraqi insurgency (2011–2013)","date_start":"2011-01-01"},{"id":"syrian-civil-war","title":"Syrian civil war","date_start":"2011-03-15"}],"same_time":[{"id":"sinai-insurgency","title":"Sinai insurgency","date_start":"2011-02-05"},{"id":"2011-alexandria-bombing","title":"2011 Alexandria bombing","date_start":"2011-01-01"},{"id":"syrian-revolution","title":"Syrian revolution","date_start":"2011-03-15"},{"id":"2010-baghdad-church-siege","title":"2010 Baghdad church siege","date_start":"2010-10-31"},{"id":"siege-of-daraa","title":"Siege of Daraa","date_start":"2011-04-25"}]}},"twelve-day-war":{"extract":"The Twelve-Day War was an armed conflict between Iran and Israel which lasted from 13 to 24 June 2025. It began when Israel bombed military and nuclear facilities in Iran in a surprise attack, assassinating prominent military leaders, nuclear scientists, and politicians, killing civilians, and damaging or destroying air defenses. Iran retaliated with over 550 ballistic missiles and over 1,000 suicide drones, hitting civilian population centers, one hospital and at least twelve military, energy, and government sites. The United States intercepted Iranian attacks and bombed three Iranian nuclear sites on 22 June. Iran retaliated by firing missiles at a US base in Qatar. On 24 June, Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire under US pressure.\n\nThe war followed a decades-long proxy conflict in which Iran supported an Axis of Resistance against Israeli and US interests in the region. Iran's development of nuclear enrichment capabilities has been an international controversy for decades, with Israel and its allies seeking to prevent Iranian nuclear weapons development. In 2015, under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), six countries lifted sanctions on Iran, which froze its nuclear program. In 2018, US president Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the plan. Iran began stockpiling enriched uranium and largely suspended International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) monitoring. Following the October 7 attacks in 2023, both Hamas and Hezbollah entered into open conflict with Israel. In April 2024, Israel bombed Iran's consulate in Damascus, Syria, killing senior Iranian military officials. Direct conflict continued in April and October of 2024. The day before Israel started the Twelve-Day War in June 2025, the IAEA declared Iran non-compliant with its nuclear obligations in a resolution put forward by the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany.\n\nIsrael's attacks, which reportedly involved commando units and Mossad operatives in Iran, killed several of Iran's military leaders, leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and at least 10 leading nuclear scientists. The war saw internet blackouts by the Iranian government. Israeli and US airstrikes damaged the nuclear facilities at Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow, damaging them extensively. Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA, which it said had passed information about nuclear facilities and scientists to Israel. Iran's total death toll has been estimated at between 1,060 and 1,190; thousands were wounded, tens of thousands were displaced, and the government ordered internet blackouts. Israel struck high-rise buildings, including apartments. Iranian missiles struck military and government sites, apartments, a research center, and a hospital.\n\nThe United Nations and most countries expressed deep concern over Israel's strikes and called for a diplomatic solution. The strikes were condemned by many countries, including most Muslim-majority and Arab states. The International Commission of Jurists and some other legal scholars saw the Israeli strikes as a violation of international law. Meanwhile, Argentina, Germany, Ukraine, and the United States said the strikes on Iran were justified to prevent nuclear proliferation and said Iran should agree to a nuclear deal promptly. Nine months later, on 28 February 2026, Israel and the United States launched strikes on Iran, beginning the 2026 Iran war.","extract_retrieved_at":"2026-09-26","wikipedia_revid":1381056396,"wikipedia_revid_timestamp":"2026-10-19T18:57:06Z","wikipedia_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-Day_War","wikidata_qid":"Q134900605","wikidata_classes":["war","armed conflict"],"date_flags":[],"wikipedia_lead_dates":[],"coordinate_source":"country-fallback:Iran","text_from_article":null,"hand_picked":true,"date_precision":"day","framing_review":{"fairness":{"found":false,"note":null,"highlights":[]},"wording":{"found":false,"findings":[],"highlights":[]},"highlights":[],"category_note":null,"data_note":null,"disclosure":null,"reviewed_on":"2026-09-30","stale":false},"part_of":[{"qid":"Q124373310","label":"Middle Eastern crisis (2023–present)","id":"middle-eastern-crisis-2023-present"},{"qid":"Q138772633","label":"Iran–Israel conflict"}],"includes":[{"id":"june-2025-iranian-strikes-on-israel","title":"June 2025 Iranian strikes on Israel","date_start":"2025-06-01"},{"id":"june-2025-israeli-strikes-on-iran","title":"June 2025 Israeli strikes on Iran","date_start":"2025-06-01"},{"id":"2025-united-states-strikes-on-iranian-nuclear-sites","title":"2025 United States strikes on Iranian nuclear sites","date_start":"2025-06-22"},{"id":"2025-iranian-strikes-on-al-udeid-air-base","title":"2025 Iranian strikes on Al Udeid Air Base","date_start":"2025-06-23"}],"related":{"shared_parent":[{"id":"august-2025-israeli-attack-on-sanaa","title":"August 2025 Israeli attack on Sanaa","date_start":"2025-08-28"},{"id":"israeli-attack-on-doha","title":"Israeli attack on Doha","date_start":"2025-09-09"},{"id":"march-may-2025-united-states-attacks-in-yemen","title":"March–May 2025 United States attacks in Yemen","date_start":"2025-03-15"},{"id":"israeli-invasion-of-syria-2024-present","title":"Israeli invasion of Syria (2024–present)","date_start":"2024-12-08"},{"id":"2026-iran-war","title":"2026 Iran war","date_start":"2026-01-01"}],"same_time":[{"id":"mar-elias-church-attack","title":"Mar Elias Church attack","date_start":"2025-06-22"},{"id":"2025-gaza-strip-aid-distribution-killings","title":"2025 Gaza Strip aid distribution killings","date_start":"2025-05-27"},{"id":"may-2025-gaza-offensive","title":"May 2025 Gaza offensive","date_start":"2025-05-17"},{"id":"southern-syria-clashes-july-september-2025","title":"Southern Syria clashes (July–September 2025)","date_start":"2025-07-13"},{"id":"2025-nasser-hospital-strikes","title":"2025 Nasser Hospital strikes","date_start":"2025-08-25"}]}},"lod-airport-massacre":{"extract":"The Lod Airport massacre was an attack that was carried out by the Japanese Red Army on the Lod Airport (now Ben Gurion International Airport) near Tel Aviv on 30 May 1972. It resulted in the killing of 26 people and the wounding of 80 others. Two of the attackers (Tsuyoshi Okudaira and Yasuyuki Yasuda) were killed, while a third (Kōzō Okamoto) was captured after being wounded.\n\nThe dead comprised 17 Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico, a Canadian citizen, and eight Israelis, including Aharon Katzir, an internationally renowned protein biophysicist. Katzir was head of the Israeli National Academy of Sciences, a popular scientific radio show host, and a likely frontrunner in the upcoming Israeli presidential election. His brother, Ephraim Katzir, was elected President of Israel the following year.\n\nBecause airport security was focused on the possibility of a Palestinian attack, the use of Japanese attackers took the guards by surprise. The attack has often been described as a suicide mission, but it has also been asserted that it was the outcome of an unpublicized larger operation that went awry. The three perpetrators had been trained in Baalbek, Lebanon; the actual planning was handled by Wadie Haddad (a.k.a. Abu Hani), head of PFLP External Operations, with some input from Okamoto. In the immediate aftermath, Der Spiegel speculated that funding had been provided by some of the $5 million ransom paid by the West German government in exchange for the hostages of hijacked Lufthansa Flight 649 in February 1972.","extract_retrieved_at":"2026-09-26","wikipedia_revid":1366574740,"wikipedia_revid_timestamp":"2026-07-28T20:45:48Z","wikipedia_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lod_Airport_massacre","wikidata_qid":"Q1154073","wikidata_classes":["massacre","terrorist attack"],"date_flags":[],"wikipedia_lead_dates":[],"coordinate_source":"wikipedia","text_from_article":null,"date_precision":"day","framing_review":{"fairness":{"found":false,"note":null,"highlights":[]},"wording":{"found":false,"findings":[],"highlights":[]},"highlights":[],"category_note":null,"data_note":null,"disclosure":null,"reviewed_on":"2026-09-30","stale":false},"related":{"nearby":[{"id":"sabena-flight-571","title":"Sabena Flight 571","date_start":"1972-05-08","km":2.3,"bearing":315},{"id":"palestinian-expulsion-from-lydda-and-ramle","title":"Palestinian expulsion from Lydda and Ramle","date_start":"1948-07-01","km":6.1,"bearing":194},{"id":"qibya-massacre","title":"Qibya massacre","date_start":"1953-10-15","km":11.1,"bearing":100},{"id":"june-2016-tel-aviv-shooting","title":"June 2016 Tel Aviv shooting","date_start":"2016-06-08","km":13.3,"bearing":310},{"id":"assassination-of-yitzhak-rabin","title":"Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin","date_start":"1995-11-04","km":14.4,"bearing":312}],"same_time":[{"id":"first-yemenite-war","title":"First Yemenite War","date_start":"1972-09-26"},{"id":"seizure-of-abu-musa-and-the-greater-and-lesser-tunbs","title":"Seizure of Abu Musa and the Greater and Lesser Tunbs","date_start":"1971-11-30"}]}},"operation-viking-hammer":{"extract":"Operation Viking Hammer was an unconventional warfare operation during the Iraq War which took place in northern Iraq, commonly known as Iraqi Kurdistan.

The protests lasted for six days, from 8 March to 14 March 1979, with thousands of women participating. The protests were met with violence and intimidation by pro-Khomeini Islamist forces.\n\nThe clerical-led Islamist faction at the time, lacking the capacity and hegemony to marginalize rival political contenders, were forced into retreat following the protests as far as these goals were concerned. Shortly after however, the Islamist faction mobilised Islamist women to rally on behalf of the new political and social order that they wished to implement. By June 1981, the greater part of Iran's liberal and leftist political spectrum was destroyed by the pro-Khomeini faction. Then, in 1983, the Iranian parliament (Majles) approved of a law \"punishing women who refused to comply with state-enforced veiling\". Ever since, such laws that favour mandatory veiling have become a key point in \"policing women's political activism and dissidence\", and have given Iran's post-1979 leadership a convenient pretext to \"harass, intimidate, assault, and imprison women activists from across the ideological spectrum\".","extract_retrieved_at":"2026-10-06","wikipedia_revid":1379061325,"wikipedia_revid_timestamp":"2026-10-07T18:14:05Z","wikipedia_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_International_Women's_Day_protests_in_Tehran","wikidata_qid":"Q5955315","wikidata_classes":["International Women's Day","demonstration"],"date_flags":[],"wikipedia_lead_dates":[],"coordinate_source":null,"text_from_article":null,"date_precision":"day","framing_review":{"fairness":{"found":true,"note":"Told from the protesters' side; says in its own voice that the veiling laws gave Iran's leadership \"a convenient pretext\", imputing a motive.

The intervention was part of Operation Inherent Resolve and saw the US support both anti-ISIL and anti-Assad factions, including the Syrian Armed Forces under the transitional government and the YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).\n\nShortly after the start of the civil war in 2011, the Obama administration placed new sanctions on Syria and supported the Free Syrian Army rebel faction by covertly authorizing Timber Sycamore under which the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) armed and trained rebels. Following the Islamic State's occupation of Eastern Syria in August 2014, the United States conducted surveillance flights in Syria to gather intelligence on the group. In September 2014, the US-led coalition—which involved the United Kingdom, France, Jordan, Turkey, Canada, Australia, and others—launched an air campaign against the Islamic State and al-Nusra Front inside Syria.\n\nThe missile strike on Shayrat Airbase on 7 April 2017 was the first time the US deliberately attacked Syrian government forces during the war, with US forces proceeding to periodically attack Assad's forces and allies often in defense of either the SDF or the Syrian Free Army opposition group based in al-Tanf. In mid-January 2018, the Trump administration indicated its intention to maintain an open-ended military presence in Syria to accomplish US political objectives, including countering Iranian influence and ousting Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, however, on 19 December, President Trump unilaterally ordered the withdrawal of the 2,000–2,500 US ground troops in Syria at the time, which was to be completed in 2019. Concerns over a power vacuum resulted in the US instead leaving around 400 US troops garrisoned in Syria indefinitely, with any withdrawal being gradual and conditions-based, returning to a policy of open-ended US intervention in the country.\n\nIn 2019, the coalition saw decisive results in its intervention against the Islamic State; the terror group lost its last remaining territory in Syria during the battle of Baghuz Fawqani and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died during a US special forces raid in Idlib in October 2019. The Trump administration ordered all US forces to withdraw from Rojava in early October ahead of a Turkish incursion into the region, a controversial move widely seen as a reneging of the US's alliance with the SDF in favor of NATO ally Turkey. However, by November 2019, US troops instead repositioned to eastern Syria, reinforcing their presence in the al-Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor governorates, with the subordinate mission of securing SDF-controlled oil and gas infrastructure from the IS insurgency and the Syrian government. On 23 November 2019, the head of US Central Command stated there was no \"end date\" on the US's intervention in Syria.\n\nThe US Department of Defense stated that there were around 900 US soldiers operating in Syria as of February 2021. On 19 December 2024, after the fall of the Assad regime, the Pentagon revealed that there were around 2,000 US troops in Syria, adding that the increase was temporary and occurred in recent months. However, the U.S. military continued to withdraw in 2025, leaving less than 1,000 troops to work with allies to fight the Islamic State militants. In February 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the complete withdrawal of American forces from Syria within the next two months. American forces completed their withdrawal on 16 April 2026, when US troops evacuated the Qasrak base in the Hasakah region, marking the end of more than a decade of American military presence in Syria. However, the conflict briefly continued about two months later when on June 19 the United States conducted an airstrike in Syria killing ISIS leader Ali Husayn al-Ulaywi, in a single post withdrawal strike.","extract_retrieved_at":"2026-10-06","wikipedia_revid":1379794900,"wikipedia_revid_timestamp":"2026-10-12T00:20:44Z","wikipedia_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_intervention_in_Syria","wikidata_qid":"Q18121212","wikidata_classes":["military intervention","armed conflict","political crisis","international crisis"],"date_flags":[],"wikipedia_lead_dates":[],"coordinate_source":null,"text_from_article":null,"date_precision":"day","framing_review":{"fairness":{"found":false,"note":null,"highlights":[]},"wording":{"found":true,"findings":[{"guideline":"LABEL","guideline_name":"Contentious labels","shortcut":"MOS:LABEL","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AManual_of_Style%2FWords_to_watch&oldid=1376702503#Contentious_labels","phrase":"the terror group lost its last remaining territory","note":"Uses \"terror\" for the Islamic State in Wikipedia's own voice, without saying who uses the label."}],"highlights":["the terror group lost its last remaining territory"]},"highlights":[{"text":"the terror group lost its last remaining territory","kind":"wording"}],"category_note":null,"data_note":null,"disclosure":null,"reviewed_on":"2026-09-30","stale":false},"part_of":[{"qid":"Q17507684","label":"War against the Islamic State","id":"war-against-the-islamic-state"},{"qid":"Q5468411","label":"foreign involvement in the Syrian civil war"}],"includes":[{"id":"raqqa-campaign-2016-2017","title":"Raqqa campaign (2016–2017)","date_start":"2016-11-06"},{"id":"2017-shayrat-missile-strike","title":"2017 Shayrat missile strike","date_start":"2017-04-07"},{"id":"april-2018-missile-strikes-against-syria","title":"April 2018 missile strikes against Syria","date_start":"2018-04-14"}],"related":{"shared_parent":[{"id":"operation-inherent-resolve","title":"Operation Inherent Resolve","date_start":"2014-09-22"},{"id":"operation-chammal","title":"Opération Chammal","date_start":"2014-09-19"},{"id":"russian-intervention-in-the-syrian-civil-war","title":"Russian intervention in the Syrian civil war","date_start":"2015-09-30"},{"id":"iranian-intervention-in-the-syrian-civil-war","title":"Iranian intervention in the Syrian civil war","date_start":"2013-06-09"},{"id":"turkish-involvement-in-the-syrian-civil-war","title":"Turkish involvement in the Syrian civil war","date_start":"2011-01-01"}],"same_time":[{"id":"yemeni-civil-war-2014-present","title":"Yemeni civil war (2014–present)","date_start":"2014-09-16"},{"id":"siege-of-kobani","title":"Siege of Kobanî","date_start":"2014-09-15"},{"id":"2014-turkish-presidential-election","title":"2014 Turkish presidential election","date_start":"2014-08-10"},{"id":"battle-of-zumar","title":"Battle of Zumar","date_start":"2014-08-01"},{"id":"2014-jerusalem-synagogue-attack","title":"2014 Jerusalem synagogue attack","date_start":"2014-11-18"}]}},"operation-martyr-soleimani":{"extract":"On 8 January 2020, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) conducted Operation Martyr Soleimani (Persian: عملیات شهید سلیمانی), launching over 12 ballistic missiles against the United States Armed Forces at al-Asad Airbase in Al Anbar Governorate, Iraq, as well as another airbase in Erbil, in response to the assassination of Major General Qasem Soleimani by a U.S. drone strike.\n\nThe strike was the largest ballistic missile attack ever against U.S. forces abroad. Initially, the U.S. was not willing to concede the seriousness of the attack. While it initially assessed that none of its service members were injured or killed, the U.S. Department of Defense ultimately said that 110 service members had been diagnosed and treated for traumatic brain injuries (mainly concussions) from the attack. Some of them were later awarded the Purple Heart.\n\nIran reportedly informed the Iraqi government of an imminent attack shortly beforehand. The United States secretary of state Mike Pompeo said the attack was intended to kill, however some analysts suggested the strike was deliberately designed to avoid causing any fatalities in order to dissuade an armed American response. The U.S. said it was able to avoid fatalities because the United States Space Force provided early warning.\n\nIn the months following the attack, the U.S. deployed Patriot and other missile defense systems to some of their Iraqi bases.

Iran's codename for the attack was Operation True Promise II (Persian: عملیات وعده صادق ۲). It was the second direct attack by Iran against Israel, the first being the April 2024 strikes.\n\nIran claimed that the attack was an act of self-defense in retaliation for Israel's assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC general Abbas Nilforoushan. The attacks, while more successful at saturating Israeli air defenses than in April, did not appear to cause extensive damage. Israel said it had shot down most of the missiles and there had been no harm to its Air Force's capabilities. The US Navy and Jordan also reported intercepting missiles. The two fatalities caused by the attacks were a Palestinian man in Gaza, killed by debris from an intercepted missile, and an Israeli man who died due to a shock-induced heart attack. Four Palestinians, two Israelis and two Jordanians sustained minor injuries.\n\nThe area of the Nevatim Airbase in the Negev was hit by 20 to 32 missiles, which damaged a hangar and taxiway. Several other missiles hit the Tel Nof Airbase, a school in the nearby town of Gedera, and an area north of Tel Aviv around the headquarters of the Israeli intelligence services Mossad and Unit 8200, damaging homes and a restaurant. Israeli media were barred from publishing the exact locations of impacts. Analysts suggested that Israel had deprioritized protecting Nevatim since \"the cost of repairing a damaged hangar or runway is far lower than the cost of using an Arrow interceptor.\" Iran used the Fattah-1 and Kheibar Shekan missiles.\n\nIsraeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a \"big mistake\" and vowed that Iran \"will pay\" for it. The US promised \"severe consequences\" and pledged to work with Israel to ensure Iran faces repercussions for its actions. Iran claimed the targets it attacked were those involved in the Gaza war.\n\nIsrael retaliated the same month, striking air-defense and missile production facilities. Ultimately, the subsequent events and the high tensions between the two countries would escalate to become the Twelve-Day War in June 2025. The escalation directly ignited the 2026 Iran war, a massive multi-front conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran alongside its regional allies that erupted on 28 February 2026.","extract_retrieved_at":"2026-10-06","wikipedia_revid":1380211538,"wikipedia_revid_timestamp":"2026-10-14T12:39:55Z","wikipedia_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_2024_Iranian_strikes_on_Israel","wikidata_qid":"Q130391800","wikidata_classes":["bombardment","armed conflict"],"date_flags":[],"wikipedia_lead_dates":[],"coordinate_source":null,"text_from_article":null,"date_precision":"day","framing_review":{"fairness":{"found":false,"note":null,"highlights":[]},"wording":{"found":true,"findings":[{"guideline":"SAID","guideline_name":"Synonyms for \"said\"","shortcut":"MOS:SAID","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AManual_of_Style%2FWords_to_watch&oldid=1376702503#Synonyms_for_said","phrase":"Iran claimed that the attack was an act of self-defense","note":"Iran's statements are introduced with \"claimed\" (twice), while Israel's are given with \"said\" and Netanyahu's with \"called\"."}],"highlights":["Iran claimed that the attack was an act of self-defense"]},"highlights":[{"text":"Iran claimed that the attack was an act of self-defense","kind":"wording"}],"category_note":null,"data_note":null,"disclosure":null,"reviewed_on":"2026-09-30","stale":false},"part_of":[{"qid":"Q125465957","label":"2024 Iran–Israel conflict"}],"related":{"shared_parent":[{"id":"october-2024-israeli-strikes-on-iran","title":"October 2024 Israeli strikes on Iran","date_start":"2024-10-26"},{"id":"april-2024-israeli-strikes-on-iran","title":"April 2024 Israeli strikes on Iran","date_start":"2024-04-19"},{"id":"april-2024-iranian-strikes-on-israel","title":"April 2024 Iranian strikes on Israel","date_start":"2024-04-13"},{"id":"israeli-airstrike-on-the-iranian-consulate-in-damascus","title":"Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus","date_start":"2024-04-01"}],"same_time":[{"id":"2024-hezbollah-headquarters-strike","title":"2024 Hezbollah headquarters strike","date_start":"2024-09-27"},{"id":"september-2024-israeli-attacks-against-lebanon","title":"September 2024 Israeli attacks against Lebanon","date_start":"2024-09-23"},{"id":"20-september-2024-beirut-attack","title":"20 September 2024 Beirut attack","date_start":"2024-09-20"},{"id":"2024-lebanon-electronic-device-attacks","title":"2024 Lebanon electronic device attacks","date_start":"2024-09-18"},{"id":"killing-of-yahya-sinwar","title":"Killing of Yahya Sinwar","date_start":"2024-10-16"}]}},"2024-syrian-opposition-offensives":{"extract":"On 27 November 2024, a coalition of Syrian revolutionary factions called the Military Operations Command, led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and supported by allied Turkish-backed groups in the Syrian National Army (SNA), launched an offensive against the Ba'athist regime's armed forces in Idlib, Aleppo and Hama Governorates in Syria. It initially began as a localised offensive targeting towns in the Idlib and Aleppo countryside, later evolving into a nationwide campaign that culminated in the regime's collapse.\n\nOn 29 November, HTS entered Aleppo and captured most of the city, amid the collapse of pro-government forces. The next day, opposition forces made rapid advances, capturing dozens of towns and villages as pro-government forces disintegrated, and advanced toward Hama in central Syria, subsequently capturing it on 5 December. By 6 December, the SDF captured Deir ez-Zor in an offensive east of the Euphrates, while the newly formed Southern Operations Room and Al-Jabal Brigade captured Daraa and Suwayda in an offensive in the south. The HTS advanced further south toward Homs. The American-backed Syrian Free Army (SFA) launched the Palmyra offensive in the south of the country.\n\nOn 7 December 2024, Southern Operations Room forces entered the Rif Dimashq Governorate from the south, and came within 10 kilometers of the capital Damascus. Later, opposition forces were reported to have entered the suburbs of the capital. SFA forces moved towards the capital from the south east. By 8 December, they had captured Homs, which effectively cut Assad's forces from Syria's coast. The same day, rebels also captured Damascus, toppling Bashar al-Assad's government and ending the Assad family's 54-year-long rule over the country.","extract_retrieved_at":"2026-10-06","wikipedia_revid":1377889164,"wikipedia_revid_timestamp":"2026-10-01T19:37:26Z","wikipedia_url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Syrian_opposition_offensives","wikidata_qid":"Q131342170","wikidata_classes":["offensive","armed conflict"],"date_flags":[],"wikipedia_lead_dates":[],"coordinate_source":null,"text_from_article":null,"date_precision":"day","framing_review":{"fairness":{"found":true,"note":"Calls the HTS-led coalition \"Syrian revolutionary factions\" and the government \"the Ba'athist regime\" as fact, and describes Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham without mentioning its al-Qaeda origins.","highlights":["Syrian revolutionary factions","the Ba'athist regime's armed forces"]},"wording":{"found":false,"findings":[],"highlights":[]},"highlights":[{"text":"Syrian revolutionary factions","kind":"fairness"},{"text":"the Ba'athist regime's armed forces","kind":"fairness"}],"category_note":null,"data_note":null,"disclosure":null,"reviewed_on":"2026-09-30","stale":false},"part_of":[{"qid":"Q178810","label":"Syrian Civil War","id":"syrian-civil-war"}],"includes":[{"id":"battle-of-aleppo-2024","title":"Battle of Aleppo (2024)","date_start":"2024-01-01"},{"id":"2024-hama-offensive","title":"2024 Hama offensive","date_start":"2024-11-30"},{"id":"fall-of-damascus-2024","title":"Fall of Damascus (2024)","date_start":"2024-12-07"}],"related":{"shared_parent":[{"id":"southern-syria-offensive-2024","title":"Southern Syria offensive (2024)","date_start":"2024-11-29"},{"id":"israeli-invasion-of-syria-2024-present","title":"Israeli invasion of Syria (2024–present)","date_start":"2024-12-08"},{"id":"2023-homs-drone-strike","title":"2023 Homs drone strike","date_start":"2023-10-05"},{"id":"operation-spring-shield","title":"Operation Spring Shield","date_start":"2020-02-27"},{"id":"northwestern-syria-offensive-2019-2020","title":"Northwestern Syria offensive (2019–2020)","date_start":"2019-12-19"}],"same_time":[{"id":"2024-israel-lebanon-ceasefire-agreement","title":"2024 Israel–Lebanon ceasefire agreement","date_start":"2024-11-27"},{"id":"2024-homs-offensive","title":"2024 Homs offensive","date_start":"2024-12-05"},{"id":"fall-of-the-assad-regime","title":"Fall of the Assad regime","date_start":"2024-12-08"},{"id":"october-2024-israeli-strikes-on-iran","title":"October 2024 Israeli strikes on Iran","date_start":"2024-10-26"},{"id":"turkish-aerospace-industries-headquarters-attack","title":"Turkish Aerospace Industries headquarters attack","date_start":"2024-10-23"}]}}}
