Delete the repeated sentence in the second paragraph. It says “the militants took hostages with the stated objective of compelling the release of 40 Palestinian militants imprisoned in Israel as well as the release of 13 prisoners in four other countries.[10] The hijackers had the stated objective to free 40 Palestinian and affiliated militants imprisoned in Israel and 13 prisoners in four other countries in exchange for the hostages.[10]” Hedgeman (talk) 05:06, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm ignorant enough to have stumbled over this in the article and had to spend a couple of minutes to find out what it is. Please just use "Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)" wherever "PLO" is used first in the article, once the article is unlocked again :). Thanks.

The info box should say 4 dead including Dora Bloch, not 3. The sources saying 3 are not including her as her death as it was not confirmed until quite some time after the raid. The article itself lists 3 dead hostages other than her. TaqPCR (talk) 04:21, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. –CWenger (^ • @) 14:14, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The lead calls it a “Palestinian-led hijacking”, but the text says there were four hijackers, of whom two were German and two Palestinian. Calling it a “Palestinian-led hijacking” in the lead therefore seems misleading, to say the least… 176.12.140.121 (talk) 19:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Their aim was the release of Palestinian prisoners, and the Palestinian hijackers appear to have been the leaders. (Hohum@) 19:58, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. I just removed "Palestinian-led"; I agree it's misleading and the hijackers are described in the next sentence anyway. –CWenger (^ • @) 20:03, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change "One of the dead hostages, Dora Bloch, had been murdered"
To "One of the dead hostages, Dora Bloch, was murdered"
The first sentence gives the impression that she was already dead when the raid happened, which is false.--HeloPait (talk) 19:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC) HeloPait (talk) 19:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
