This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the
importance scale.
The
contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to post-1978 Iranian politics, which has been
designated as a contentious topic.
For now, the article fails to mention that it is wholly based on what Israel and IDF say, as far as I could read in the (reliable) sources.

Significantly covered sets of allegations, yes. But as of yet unattributed in the article. Press releases presented as facts, thus bordering on factlessness. In scientific terms, it badly needs peer review. To start with, every sentence should start with: "Netanyahu says" or "Conricus says". The
current events entry starts with: "Israel announces". The
BBC article starts with "Israel says", the second paragraph with "Israel says", the third paragraph starts with "It [Israel] does not say". and so on... Maybe a notable addition would be "Hezbollah said nothing".

Oh - it's beyond that. The tunnels are verified beyond "Israel says" - reporters were there on the ground and reported. Likewise, troops movements, digging, etc.

On reporters were there on the ground and reported: "CNN crews witnessed excavators and heavy machinery operating on the Israeli side of the border wall between the two locations." Nothing about having visited the tunnels or so.

According to the
[2] Boston Globe source, the operation was planned for a year and a half. It may be useful to expand the scope of this article by adding a chronology leading up to the announcement and start of the operation.
[3] The New York Times also has interesting info. The "defend our skies" blurb that I deleted happened the previous week, on or just after Thursday 29 November, not on or after 4 December: it was described in the
[4] source that I deleted for now. That source is dated 3 December.
