Avivim

Avivim is an Israeli moshav on the Lebanese border where Palestine Liberation Organization terrorists killed nine children and three adults in a 1970 school bus attack. In 2010 the opening said the moshav's border proximity 'made it a target for terrorist attacks,' and that on May 8, 1970, 'terrorists from the Palestine Liberation Organization attacked the community school bus, killing nine children and three adults, and crippling for life a further 19 people.' Today the opening is two sentences giving only the moshav's location and its 2024 population of 555, with the school bus attack and the word terrorist gone entirely, though terror survives 4 times elsewhere in the article. A reader today learns Avivim's population and location, not that PLO terrorists killed nine children and three adults there in 1970.

The opening as it read in 2010

Avivim ( ), is an Israeli moshav (pop. 500) in the far north of Israel , in the Upper Galilee . It is located less than one kilometre (3,000 feet ) from the Lebanese border , and near the site of the abandoned Shiite village of Salha ( ) .1 The moshav was founded in 1958, but was abandoned soon afterward. It was re-established in 1963 with immigrants from North Africa , mostly Moroccan Jews . The moshav's proximity to the Lebanese border has made it a target for terrorist attacks. On May 8, 1970, terrorists from the Palestine Liberation Organization attacked the community school bus , killing nine children and three adults, and crippling for life a further 19 people ( see also Avivim school bus attack ). Avivim also suffered during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict , and was subject to at least one infiltration attempt by Hezbollah . The moshav also came under fire from Hezbollah forces in the nearby village of Maroun al-Ras , across the border in Lebanon .2 "The seven lost villages", Danny Rubenstein, Haaretz, 4 August 2006 , at Independent Medi Review Analysis website.3 " Moshav Avivim still stands determined during tensions ", Dan Izenberg, Jerusalem Post, July 20, 2006 (accessed September 7, 2006)4
