"And it was none other than Pakistan’s General Muhammad Zia-Ul-Haq, then a Brigadier, who helped King Hussein carry out the massacre of 25,000 Palestinians, in what is now known as Black September of 1970." Drsruli (talk) 18:57, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Main infobox image

edit

There are no other copies of this image anywhere online. It is a small picture, and appears to look very modern. Can we get some confirmation this is actually taken in 1970 and not just mislabelled? 106.69.214.252 (talk) 22:13, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Such as this one states that Pakistani troops were actively involved Waleed Ukranian (talk) 15:03, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Low quality source that is also ambiguous about the details. This is not mentioned in overwhelming majority of RS. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:08, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
The Pakistani government was not involved in this conflict. We had multiple discussions regarding this. Skitash (talk) 15:18, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Doesn't Zia deserve a mention in commanders section, not saying to add Pakistan in beligrents but to add Zia only in commanders 9 Waleed Ukranian (talk) 15:55, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don't think so. That doesn't seem like an improvement to me. Your own source states that "Zia-ul-Haq’s exact role in Black September is debatable". Skitash (talk) 17:17, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
He deserves a mention in commanders section atleast though Waleed Ukranian (talk) 17:54, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
