Anon added this: "It should be noted, however, that more people have
been killed by Israeli attacks on Palestinian cities than the
reverse."

This might be true, and it might not be. I agree that it's very
important to cite sources and especially important to cite sources on
articles such as this one.

Note that i did not revert it.
