Baha Abu al-Ata

Baha Abu al-Ata, a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, killed by Israel in a 2019 targeted strike. The 2020 opening called him a Palestinian terrorist organization leader. The opening today calls him a Palestinian militant leader, and the word appears nowhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that Wikipedia's own opening once identified him as the leader of a terrorist organization rather than a militant leader.
