Operations in Uruguay[edit]

It should be noted that cukurs was not living in Uruguay. He was living in Brazil. And cunningly tricked into going to Montevideo for business Unlike many of neighboring countries we had a black list and Nazis found no refuge in my country. httpss://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herberts_Cukurs Please edit the few lines on Uruguay.

Small fix. Can't do it myself (the page is protected)[edit]

Could someone make this change for me (if they agree with the change)? Thanks: "Argentina protested what it considered as the violation of its sovereignty," ---> "Argentina protested what it considered a violation of its sovereignty," Schweinchen (talk) 20:17, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Deor (talk) 22:49, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Citation for claim regarding reporting to PM[edit]

I can't yet add this citation as I don't have enough Wiki experience/cred to do so, but the citation can be found here: https://search.credoreference.com/content/entry/foft/mossad/0

"Originally under the auspices of the Israel's foreign ministry, Mossad's director (whose identity was a state secret until 1996) began reporting directly to the prime minister in 1951." -- Mossad, from Encyclopedia of Terrorism Edenaviv5 (talk) 01:18, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the "Special units" sub-header, and elevate its "Metsada" sub-subheader to a sub-header (from ====Metsada==== to ===Metsada===). There's no need for two levels of headers for a single sentence. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 23:22, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Deor (talk) 01:32, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

As noted in a previous request, Mossad's motto is given twice, but in two different translations. Please replace the translation in the infobox with the translation in the "Motto" section, which (despite what A09 said above) is already properly referenced. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 00:57, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for noticing the inconsistency. Deor (talk) 12:04, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No Sources on the killing in Malta[edit]

"The killing of Fathi Shiqaqi. Shiqaqi, a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, was shot several times in the head in 1995 in front of the Diplomat Hotel in Sliema, Malta.[124]"

There is no source cited for this. Can anyone link any source? I am from Malta and never heard of this happening. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aleks4775 (talk • contribs) 13:14, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a cited source (that's what the "124" is), though it just says that he was killed in Malta. This (last four paragraphs) has more details. Deor (talk) 13:57, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. The quotation as given now accurately reproduces the text of the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), to which it's attributed. I see your proposed translation only on several goofy Web sites (and Google Translate, which is not a reliable source). Deor (talk) 16:41, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the section, "In popular culture", I would like to add the reference to the Max Einstein series by James Patterson. In the series, the characters Charl and Isabl are former agents of Mossad, and Mossad helps the main characters escape danger multiple times in the series. 2600:8802:3A0B:3000:288F:416:9A89:A73F (talk) 19:15, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
