What the highlighted wording does

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Beit Lahia is a city in the Gaza Strip near Beit Hanoun. Through 2015 the opening reported that Hamas, an Islamist party, took control of it during the 2005 municipal elections. Today the opening is a bare geography and population description with no mention of Hamas or the elections, and Islamist is nowhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that Hamas took control of Beit Lahia in 2005 or that Wikipedia described it as an Islamist party.
