HaSharon Junction, also known as Beit Lid Junction, is the site of a 1995 attack by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The 2010 opening called it "the Beit Lid massacre, a 1995 suicide attack by Palestinian Islamic Jihad," and named a monument to its victims. Today's opening calls the same event "the Beit Lid suicide bombing" throughout; the word massacre no longer appears anywhere in the article. A reader arriving at the opening today learns a suicide bombing happened at the junction, and not that Wikipedia's own opening once named it the Beit Lid massacre.
