Operation Yoav

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

Operation Yoav (also called Operation Ten Plagues or Operation Yo'av) was an Israeli military operation carried out from 15–22 October 1948 in the Negev Desert, during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Its goal was to drive a wedge between the Egyptian forces along the coast and the Beersheba–Hebron–Jerusalem road, and ultimately to conquer the whole Negev. Operation Yoav was headed by the Southern Front commander Yigal Allon. The operation was named after Yitzhak Dubno, codenamed "Yoav" by his commanders in the Palmach. Dubno, a senior Palmach officer, was charged with planning and leading the defense of the kibbutzim Negba and Yad Mordechai. Dubno was killed in an air raid on Kibbutz Negba shortly after Egyptian forces began their offensive on Israel's southern front.

What the highlighted wording does

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Operation Yoav was a 1948 Israeli military operation in the Negev Desert during the Arab-Israeli War. Through the 2010 snapshot the opening said 'On October 28, 1948 soldiers from the 8th Brigade carried out a massacre at al-Dawayima.' Today the opening does not mention this, though massacre survives twice in the body. A reader arriving now learns the operation's military objectives, and not that Wikipedia's own opening once stated that soldiers carried out a massacre during it.
