Saad Haddad (Arabic: سعد حداد; 1936 – 14 January 1984) was a Lebanese military officer and the founder and head of the South Lebanon Army (SLA) during the Lebanese Civil War. Originally a Major in the Lebanese Army, he defected and formed the SLA and created the separatist State of Free Lebanon backed by Israel. For years Haddad was widely identified as a Zionist and closely collaborated with and received arms and political support from Israel against Lebanese government forces, Hezbollah, and the Syrian Army. Haddad died of cancer in his house in Marjayoun.
What the highlighted wording does

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Saad Haddad founded and led the Israel-backed South Lebanon Army during the Lebanese Civil War. Through 2010 the opening noted that several sources have suggested Haddad's involvement in the Sabra and Shatila massacres in 1982. Today's opening covers his military role and Israeli backing but omits that suggestion, with massacre gone from the opening though it survives three times elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that several sources suggested Haddad's involvement in the Sabra and Shatila massacres.
