I agree this is odd - especially the fact that both the day before and the
day after, the article had less than 100 visits
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=he.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&start=2019-09-01&end=2019-09-30&pages=%D7%A7%D7%A4%D7%90%D7%99%D7%9F>.
Usually there seems to be some spillover at the very least into the next
day.
