From 1939 to 1947, two Jewish terrorist organisations, Irgun and Lehi, engaged in terrorist activities with a view to undermining Britain's control over Palestine.[6] These organisations were merged into the IDF shortly after its creation, with Irgun additionally being the political predecessor to the [[Likud]] party.

 Not done: Sorry, I do not think these sources support the change you want.
Indeed the Irgun merged into the IDF, but as far as I am aware, the Lehi did not and the sources you provide do not state Lehi was merged into the IDF.
As for the last part of your addition, I do not think it is supported by the source you have provided. At least not by the quote you highlight. Consider that while military factions and political factions may be closely related, the Herut is not the same as the Irgun.
Herut was the predecessor to Likud, but the edit you’re asking for would be too contentious in my opinion and I don’t want to get involved in that.
I did move your signature and the added sources into the comment. I fear that this request is not uncontroversial enough to be an edit request. If I am being honest, I also don’t think it’s really necessary. This context can be found in the respective articles for Irgun and Lehi (militant group) Slomo666 (talk) 16:15, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: Typo: according to the ref, it should be "the secular State of Israel has no right to exist" but currently it says "the secular State of Israel has no right to existence".

Description of suggested change: One of the references is Spam for a hotel website. Unfortunately Wikiblame doesn't show when it was first introduced, but it should be removed. It's the first ref for the entry about Lehava: Lehava (est. 2005), was referred to as an extreme religious minority trying through terror to implement their views of how the society should look.[39]

Not that it's important, but it was introduced in this edit back in 2015. Butterscotch Beluga (talk) 23:04, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
