Adora is an Israeli settlement in the Judean Mountains south of Hebron. On 27 April 2002 it was attacked: the 2010 opening said "two terrorists entered the settlement" and went on to describe them attacking and killing. Today's opening carries no mention of the 2002 attack at all, though the word terror survives once in the body. A reader arriving at Adora's opening paragraph today does not learn that the settlement was ever attacked.
