Inconsistencies surrounding the outbreak of violence in 1947[edit]
There are apparent inconsistencies around the outbreak of violence in the civil war, and subsequent invasion by foreign forces from Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, and Iraq. In paragraph 3 of the introduction, the article presents a timeline as follows:
The civil war starts in 1947
Israeli forces launch an offensive in April 1948
Israel declares independence in May 1948
Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, and Iraq invade and 10 months of conflict ensue.
In the Background section, the timeline appears inconsistent with this, as it sources information that an Egyptian force organized an embargo of supplies to 100,000 people that precipitated an offensive directly against it:
The UN passes a resolution on the partition of Palestine in 1947
Low level skirmishes take place in 1947
The Arab Liberation Army consolidated positions, and the Holy War Army from Egypt blockaded Jewish settlements in Jerusalem in 1948.
Israeli forces implemented mandatory conscription and secured arms supplies from the Soviet Union, with shipments arriving in March 1948.
Israeli forces launched an offensive.
In the Initial Line-up of Forces section, under Arab forces, Lebanon is listed among the countries, however, Lebanon is omitted from the introduction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fileyfood500 (talk • contribs) 07:01, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think what's unclear currently is that it's listed under "Palestinian, Egyptian, and Syrian defeat", however this is specific to the Palestinians. You can create a separate section for Palestinian defeat and that would be more consistent. Fileyfood500 (talk) 04:38, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
