- Comment I'm going around on the Wafa site and found this identical image which even has a Wafa watermark on it. The footer of the page states, in part, "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO WAFA ©". Are we sure about its copyright status? Bremps... 04:57, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
- I raised the same concern on this talk page, and got an answer. If you have any other copyright-related question, you can probably ask Batoul84, who answered my question, or—per the image's page—ask on Wiki Palestine's talk page. FunLater (talk) 12:36, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
- Wonderful. With the copyright question cleared up, I'll support for the compositon and usefulness. Bremps... 16:15, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

- Comment – Whatever its copyright status, this image of a spot news event seems too ephemeral for the POTD ethos, and could be considered POV in the context of the ongoing Israel–Hamas War. – Sca (talk) 13:29, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
- Update — The image has been replaced on 2023 Israel–Hamas war with an alternative version. FunLater (talk) 17:16, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- FunLater, FP criterion #5 says "it is preferable to wait a reasonable period of time (at least 7 days) after the image is added to the article". The image isn't stable in its primary article ("primary" in the context of adding significant encyclopedic value to an article, FP criterion #5). Bammesk (talk) 19:23, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- I'm inclined to support, but am inclined to think this should be given a week or so to have usage settle down before voting. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.5% of all FPs. 05:07, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
