A fact from this article was featured on Wik.ipedia.Pro's Main Page in the On this day section on March 18, 2024.

Sources like this have info from human rights group describing the incident as massacre. Up to 80 people, mostly women and children, were killed in the attack. --Mhhossein ^talk 05:29, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, the cited New York Times source does not say that. It merely reports hyperbole from a purported human rights group. Per WP:CRIME, we require reliable sources that this was deliberate. Otherwise it is just another air raid. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:59, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What about sources like [1] and [2]. I am going to take them to RSN. --Mhhossein ^talk 06:52, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hawkeye7: It seems the sources are not "authoritative" but can be used as an attributed opinion. --Mhhossein ^talk 05:21, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that we don't have agreement on what constitutes a "massacre". A common problem with categories. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 07:34, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
