Battle of Bint Jbeil (2006)

As it reads on Wikipedia · 1 finding marked in the text · see twenty years of this article's openings

The Battle of Bint Jbeil was one of the main battles of the 2006 Lebanon War. Bint Jbeil is a major town of some 20,000 (mainly Shia) inhabitants in Southern Lebanon. Although Brigadier General Gal Hirsch announced on 25 July that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had "complete control" of Bint Jbeil, this statement was later discredited. In spite of three sustained attempts by the IDF to conquer the town, it remained in the hands of Hezbollah until the end of the war. The town was the scene of some of the fiercest fighting of the war, with both sides taking heavy losses. Three senior Israeli officers, including Major Roi Klein, were killed in the battle. Hezbollah similarly lost several commanders, most notably Khalid Bazzi, commander of the Bint Jbeil area.

What the highlighted wording does

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
The Battle of Bint Jbeil was a 2006 Lebanon War engagement between Israeli forces and Hezbollah. Through 2020 the infobox listed the IDF's casualty estimate as 50-70 militants. Today the same line reads 50-70 fighters, and militant is nowhere in the article. A reader today sees the IDF's estimate of Hezbollah dead described as fighters, not the militants the infobox called them as of 2020.
