Argaman

Argaman is an Israeli settlement in the Jordan Valley whose name honors two Nahal commanders, Arik Regev and Gad Mandel. The 2010 opening explained that its name is an acronym for the pair, "two Nahal commanders who were killed whilst pursuing terrorists." Today the word terrorist appears nowhere in the article; the opening instead covers the settlement's population and the international community's view that West Bank settlements are illegal. A reader arriving now does not learn that Argaman was named for two soldiers killed while pursuing terrorists.
