In each of those cases it is about a single person (or two in one case, and that one Id probably rename too), here the story is that the army killed three hostages. And I very much doubt that people are searching for these names as opposed to army killed hostages. nableezy - 15:00, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Proposed name is not specific as it is plausible (and claimed by Hamas) that other hostages were accidentally killed by Israel, and the number three is not sufficient for precision. Other articles such as Killing of Osama bin Laden include the person name. This might be renamed in the future if a common name emerges. Marokwitz (talk) 08:09, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly Oppose A concise title is in place. Further details should appear in the lead, just as in other cases like Killing of Osama bin Laden and not United State Army killing of Osama bin Laden.
Lets use the same standards as in the case of the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli boys by Hamas 2014 Gush Etzion kidnapping and murder - where the title does not mention the one who did the killing. GidiD (talk) 08:57, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support per common name. The media has been referring to this as the three hostages, israeli hostages etc Mason (talk) 21:00, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. While I agree and appreciate that the standard way to do this should be "Killing of [names]", I think this should be an exception. The incident and the article *are* about the fact that the country killed hostages from that country, and that is what's notable. In the examples above (except OBL), the victim is non-notable, but their killing is notable for the general reaction to it. It would be futile to try figuring out a new title to explain why a generic murder was relevant in every single case. Moreover, adding who killed them would not actually clarify anything in most cases. "American killing of OBL" doesn't explain anything. In this case, there is a clear way to explain in the title why this was notable. It was notable because the IDF killed three Israeli hostages. This is a very rare case, but the title should be a variation of that in the name of clarity. lethargilistic (talk) 23:05, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
