Immanuel is a West Bank settlement where, in 2002, a bus was bombed, killing nine people. Through 2010 the opening said "In 2002, the town was the site of a terrorist attack on civilians, which claimed nine lives." Today's opening describes only the settlement's founding, population and legal status under international law; terror survives 5 times elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that a terrorist attack killed nine civilians in Immanuel in 2002.

The opening as it read in 2010
Immanuel central roundabout Immanuel ( ) (widely spelled Emmanuel ) is an Israeli settlement and a town with local council status in the northern West Bank .1According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Immanuel had a population of 2,800 at the end of 2007, mostly Haredi Orthodox Jews .2Its jurisdiction is 2,750 dunams (2.75 km²).3Immanuel was declared a local council in 1985. Its first head of council was Oded Alon. Immanuel's current head of council is Yeshayahu Ehrenreich. In the 1990s, Immanuel was undergoing a major expansion, but the Oslo Accords discouraged investors and construction firms from continuing to build. As a result, a major portion of present-day Immanuel consists of unfinished structures and concrete. Land value is also extremely low, often four to six times lower than in central Israeli towns and cities. While Immanuel has a modest light industrial area which provides work for Israelis and Palestinians , there is otherwise not much local employment opportunities that are not related to education or Torah , therefore many of its residents commute to nearby Ariel , Jerusalem and Bnei Brak / Petah Tikva . In 2002, the town was the site of a terrorist attack on civilians, which claimed nine lives.4Israel Central Bureau of Statistics . 2008-06-30 .5
