Comment: This article is not new, but recently new information about the operation came out that allowed me to significantly expand it. Excluding the infobox, citations, categories, etc., the prose of the revision before my expansion was around 1,571 characters long, and grew to around 10,750 on the revision after my expansion. (I made this estimate myself with an online word counter so there may be mistakes) This is my first time nominating an article 5x expanded, so please let me know if I did anything wrong or left something out. Thanks in advance! :)

Thanks, now it's ready to go, preferrably with the shorter hook ALT1, even if this will take some time. Munfarid1 (talk) 15:15, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

There is significant WP:CLOP per this. SL93 (talk) 23:52, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
