In order to avoid duplication of the work of others, this article concentrates on assassinations by Israel of Westerners and Palestinians. There is no listing of these killings, Israel or otherwise, anywhere in the Wikipedia, which is very different from the situation of, say, Russian journalists. A table of all such deaths, part of a detailed discussion accompanied by lists (including "all violent, premature and unexplained" deaths of "reporters, editors, cameramen, photographers") appears [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_Russia#Deaths_and_trials.2C_statistics here].

Israeli targeted killings Israeli targeted killings
WpIcon32.png Targeted killing






Gaps Obfuscation  The Wikipedia page is a general discussion of 'targeted killings' with emphasis on the use of drones by the US under Obama. Israel does not figure in it at all. The multiple Wikipedia pages on "assassinations" are wordy, unclear and one-sided. Only the "Israeli targeted killings" covers assassinations carried out by Israel, and only in a partisan fashion.

The Wikispooks article concentrates on assassinations by Israel of Westerners and Palestinians. Wikipedia has no list of these killings, in contrast to, for example, Russian journalists.
