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

Hamas carried out a suicide bombing on 5 March 2003 on an Egged bus in Haifa, Israel. 17 passengers were killed in the attack and 53 were injured. Many of the victims were university students from nearby Haifa University. The bomber was 20-year-old Mahmoud Umdan Salim Qawasmeh, a student at the Palestine Polytechnic University. An Israeli Arab resident of Haifa who helped plan the attack was also tried and sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement.

What the highlighted wording does

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
The 2003 Hamas suicide bombing of a bus in Haifa that killed 17 people, many of them university students. Through October 6 2023 the opening called Hamas "the Palestinian Islamist militant organization Hamas." That phrase is gone today; the opening now says only that "Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack." A reader today learns Hamas claimed the bombing and not that Wikipedia's own opening once identified Hamas as an Islamist militant organization.
