Al-Dawayima massacre

[fanger]

The al-Dawayima massacre describes the killing of civilians by the Israeli army (IDF) that took place in the Palestinian Arab town of al-Dawayima on October 29, 1948, during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. The incident occurred after the town was occupied by the IDF's 89th Commando Battalion during Operation Yoav, encountering little resistance. The battalion, whose first commander was Moshe Dayan, was composed of former Irgun and Lehi forces.

Benny Morris has estimated that hundreds of people were killed. Lieutenant-General John Bagot Glubb, the British commander of Jordan's Arab Legion stated the numbers were much smaller, citing a UN report for a figure of 30 women and children killed.[1] A follow-up report delivered to the United Nations by a delegation from the Arab Refugee Congress reported that the Arab Legion had had an interest in underplaying the extent of the massacre, which was, it claimed, worse than the Deir Yassin massacre, in order to avoid further panic and refugee flight.[2] The village mukhtar Hassan Mahmoud Ihdeib, in a sworn statement, estimated the number of victims as 145.[2][3]

Illegal Jewish Immigration to Mandatory Palestine during the British mandate 1934- 1948.
During this period 20,000 Jews immigrated to Palestine without British mandate certificates. The majority arrived on illegal ships from Europe, while others came overland from Arab countries.
Two important events initiated the start of Illegal Immigration to Mandatory Palestine: the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe caused many Jews to leave their countries; British policies limited the number of legal immigrants, which caused institutions, organizations and private citizens to arrange transport for the immigrants to Palestine
