Kfar Shouba (Arabic: كفرشوبا, romanized: Kfarshūbā), also known as Kfarshouba and Kafr Shuba, is a municipality in the Hasbaya District of the Nabatieh Governorate in Southern Lebanon. The people of the village are Sunni Muslims. It is situated in the region of Arkoub, at 1256 m above sea level and 130 km from Beirut. Located near the border of Israel and the Golan Heights, not far from the Shebaa Farms, it overlooks in depth both Israel and the Lebanese Bekaa, which makes it a strategic military location.

What the highlighted wording does

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep

Kfar Shouba is the Lebanese village near the Israeli border where Hezbollah abducted and murdered Israeli soldiers. The 2010 opening said the killings 'was carried out by Hezbollah, a militant group defined as a terrorist organization by the United States.' Today's opening omits the episode and the designation entirely, and the word terror appears nowhere in the article, count zero. A reader today does not learn that the United States designates Hezbollah, the group responsible for the abduction and murder there, as a terrorist organization.
