Created by Vice regent (talk). Self-nominated at 06:26, 7 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/31 October 2023 attack on Jabalia; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Just a comment: Isn't killing people the point of an airstrike? We can get better hookiness by mentioning that civilians were killed. Bremps... 19:33, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: War often kills people. My personal opinion is that ALT0 fails the interestingness criterion. It shouldn’t be that difficult to come up with more hooks. Viriditas (talk) 20:05, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
Vice regent: Long enough, new enough. No maintenance templates found, no neutrality issues found, no valid copyright concerns found. QPQ done. I agree that ALT0 is not interesting; might be worth proposing a hook regarding Bolivia cutting diplomatic ties.--Launchballer 00:30, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Vice regent: Can you propose another hook please?--Launchballer 21:38, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, I did. For some reason I don't get your pings from here. Next time I don't respond here, I'd be grateful if you left a message on my talk. I'm confused why I didn't get your pings.VR talk 06:22, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
I have to say, I regularly don't receive pings on these nominations, and only know people have responded to me through checking T:TDYK and T:TDYKA. I'm pretty sure I once only found out one of my nominations had been approved after the bot told me it was on the main page. ALT2 is fine; a more merciless prepbuilder may crop "that killed dozens" but I'll leave that to them. Let's roll.--Launchballer 18:55, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

I've pulled this hook with the following rationale:
The prose is made up of 36% direct quotes and with that, it's

a WP:COPYVIO poor writing. Note that it's nowhere defined what proportion of an article can be made up of quotes, but I suggest that 36% is far too much to be acceptable.
