2024 Haret Hreik airstrike → 30 July 2024 Beirut attack – a better name would be 30 July 2024 Beirut attack because we only know there is an attack on Beirut, maybe the person isn't dead. Kavas (talk) 18:03, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- should be changed to assassination attempt because this attack is still significant enough to warrant the title 73.207.0.74 (talk) 18:06, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- some already moved this to neither of this titles

- this is an assasination attempt, as fouad shukr was targetted. 217.150.80.101 (talk) 18:08, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose: Now that he has been confirmed dead it should be Assassination of Fuad Shukr. Prodrummer619 (talk) 19:19, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
:Oppose "Beirut" since Haret Hreik is a more precise location and is a city of its own. Support for the word "Attack". Prodrummer619 (talk) 21:07, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- He's not dead.
Another article for this exists at July 2024 Israeli attack on Beirut. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:10, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- isint it about the same bombing maybe the 2 articles should be merged 173.72.3.91 (talk) 19:24, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- The articles have now been merged. Prodrummer619 (talk) 21:05, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Just noting here that they weren't merged; one was redirected to the other; see WP:REDIRECT and WP:MERGE. Nythar (💬-🍀) 21:13, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strong support for using the word "attack". We need to be WP:CONSISTENT with our titles. The event that provoked this, an alleged rocket strike, is also called Majdal Shams attack.In a recently closed move discussion[3], users clearly preferred "attack" over "airstrike" to describe the Tel al-Sultan attack. Likewise there was significant discussion here on whether to use "attack" or "airstrike", that resulted in merger with an article with the title attack (13 July 2024 al-Mawasi attack). An April discussion found unanimous support to move the title away from "drone strikes" to "attack"[4]. Finally, "airstrike" typically implies something that comes from a manned aircraft, while in this case the attack came from an unmanned aircraft which is typically called "drone strike" not "airstrike".VR (Please ping on reply) 00:19, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose the article title as it stands now is accurate.XavierGreen (talk) 00:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Strong support for using the word "attack". As said above, WP:CONSISTENT. Changing the name to Beirut would only make sense if the attack became a series of attacks on other areas in Beirut. Similar to the attack for which this one was a retaliation to, that article was also named for the specific area bombed. And the word used was "attack". Should be an easy change for the sake of consistency. —AddieMaddie talk | contribs 14:49, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose using the word attack or adding Beirut to the title. Some editors are claiming WP:CONSISTENT compels us to title articles about airstrikes as "attacks", yet this ignores the Category:2024 airstrikes page. Yes, some are titled attacks, but there are a variety of other titles being used, such as "airstrike", "strikes", and "missile strike". "airstrike" is in fact a more WP:PRECISE title than "attack", and for that reason we should continue using it here. I would also support changing the title from including "airstrike" to "drone strike". Gödel2200 (talk) 17:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- You misunderstand what the policy WP:Precise means. Unless there is another attack on Haret Hriek in 2024, what you are suggesting is WP:overprecision.VR (Please ping on reply) 07:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Fuad Shukr should be added to the infobox
editThe following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The IDF (along with other unnamed sources and some Arab-language media, which is included in the article body already) claims that Fuad Shukr was killed (per https://www.reuters.com/world/hezbollah-israel-conflict-not-inevitable-us-defense-secretary-says-2024-07-30/). With this in mind, Fuad Shukr should be added as a casualty in the infobox, perhaps with the qualifier "(per Israel)" or "(disputed)", unless/until further information becomes available. This follows the precedent of similar articles, e.g. Tel al-Sultan attack. Weliviewf (talk) 03:13, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
