Omaya Joha

Omaya Joha is a Palestinian political cartoonist and journalist, the first female cartoonist in the Arab world working in daily political newspapers. In the October 6, 2023 snapshot, the opening said 'She is the wife of two martyrs.' Today the word martyr appears nowhere in the article. A reader arriving now learns of her career and awards, and not that Wikipedia's own opening once described her as the wife of two martyrs.
Read line by line and written up by hand.
Machine-checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01. “martyr” appeared 1 times in this article's opening at its peak. Today it appears nowhere in the article, references included.
