Treatments
I corrected the "5% sodium hypochlorite solution" comment in the "Protective Measures" section to reflect the modern standards per MCWP 3-37.3 w/change 1. I could flush out this section with more information, but it would just end up needing to have its own section. I am not exactly sure why there is a treatment section at all in an encyclopedic entry about bio Weapons in the first place - NBCD Chief
The part about biological warfare in the Israeli-Arab war is just ridiculous
This is nothing but nonsense made up without any actual evidence by two "historians" who obviously just look for attention. The accusations also doesn't make any sense, why focusing only on villages that were already evacuated?, the only reason why these refugees didn't return is because Israel never allowed them to return, how poisoning the wells will prevent them from returning anyway?, unless the Haganah made the well-poisoning operation known to everybody this claim doesn't make any sense.
Even the historians that believe in Aliens visiting ancient people have better theories since they have at least an internal logic. ThunderheadX (talk) 01:57, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Operation Cast Thy Bread. Talking about how germs were transported into villages to poison wells of still inhabited villages. Same with May 1948 when 4 Israeli Soldiers were executed for trying to poison the water supply of Gaza.

possible AI generated section
The section "Dual-Use Risks of Selected Biotechnology Tools" reads very LLM generated to me. Also it isn't formatted correctly. I don't have the subject matter or Wikipedia policy knowledge to tell if any of this is worth keeping or it should all be removed, but it would be good if someone who knows more could take a look. ~2025-32625-18 (talk) 00:57, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
