I think the " Cold War Perspective " section is unnecessary
" According to Abraham Rabinovich, the complete dominance of U.S. and Israeli technology and tactics over those of the Eastern Bloc was to have been a factor that hastened the demise of the Warsaw Pact and Soviet Union.[80][82][dubious – discuss] However, this was not the first confrontation in which Soviet weaponry had been outmatched by American weaponry. In many of the Cold War conflicts[which?] the Americans and their allies had superior technology. Nonetheless, the gap between the First World and Second World weaponry was more apparent in the 1980s and weighed more heavily on Second World leaders. "
Implying the 1982 Lebanon War somehow contributed to Perestroika or the collapse of the Eastern Bloc is beyond silly, Soviet Military equipment was being used effectively in numerous other conflicts at the time and Soviet Military equipment/Soviet allies had always suffered higher losses compared to their American counterparts.
War? It was the beginning of occupation.
My comments from months ago in this topic were deleted on this talk page, which is weird.
Renaming article to 1982 occupation, instead of war.
Someone is using b o t to delete my talk comment.
Request clear and reliable source for human shields statement. Or remove
Per title, requesting a clear and reliable source for the statement. Only other sources stating that i could find were from CAMERAoncampus, often critisised for being a obvious pro-israeli special interest group/advocacy group. The other one was ADL, which has been, as of june 2024, deemed by The Wikipedia foundation as being an unreliable source https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2024/06/26/wikimedia-foundation-statement-volunteer-processes-reliable-sources/.
In short, either provide exact source or exact page number. External sources (non-israeli/non-lebanese) sources might be preferable to ensure objectivity and verifiability. If unable to susbtansiate the claim with a verifiable source, it should be removed per.
