Lebanese prisoners in Israel
Lebanese prisoners in Israel became a point of dispute between Lebanon and Israel and a factor in the 2006 Lebanon War, which began with a Hezbollah cross-border raid. In 2010 the opening called Hezbollah the Lebanese militant organization. Today the opening calls it 'the Lebanese paramilitary and political party,' though militant survives twice elsewhere in the article. A reader arriving now learns Hezbollah is described as a political party, not that Wikipedia's own opening once called it a militant organization.

The opening as it read in 2010
Lebanese prisoners in Israel have been a source of contention between Lebanon and Israel and were an issue in the 2006 Lebanon War . The number of such detainees is disputed. According to the Lebanese militant organization Hezbollah , there are two Lebanese citizens in Israeli prisons, but Israel denies holding them.1 Hezbollah had demanded the release of Lebanese prisoners as condition for releasing Israeli reservists Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev , captured in the Hezbollah raid which sparked the 2006 Lebanon War. On July 16, 2008, the Israel Prison Service released five Lebanese prisoners in exchange for the remains of Goldwasser and Regev.
