㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Shatila is a Palestinian refugee camp in Beirut, set up in 1949 and now home to thousands of Palestinian and Syrian refugees. Through 2010 the opening said the camp "is most widely known as the site of the Sabra and Shatila massacre in September 1982." Today the opening carries no mention of the massacre at all, though massacre survives 4 times elsewhere in the article. A reader today learns the camp's population and refugee statistics, and not the event the camp is most known for.
