1 mar 1920 año - Battle of Tel Hai

Descripción:

8 Jews,[1] 5 Arabs killed[2] Armed Arabs were "looking for French soldiers" (common pretext for looting / humiliation of Jewish villages, used in past to kill civilians), reinforcements were called by residents, Bedouin militants were reluctently allowed to search the village by the armed reinforcements headed by Joseph Trumpeldor, a Jewish woman aimed her pistol when an armed Bedouin entered her home, a shot was fired (unclear by who) and a major firefight erupted. Trumpeldor was shot and seriously wounded, while the sides barricaded themselves in the village. Kamal Affendi leader of the Bedouin militants, asked to leave, saying it was all a misunderstanding, and the Jewish force approved the cease-fire. During the Arab retreat, one of the Jewish defenders, unaware of the agreements by his comrades and hearing-impaired by the previous firefight, shot at the Arab party, and the exchange of fire recommenced.

Six Jews and five Arabs were killed in the fighting. Trumpeldor was shot in the hand and stomach and died while being evacuated to Kfar Giladi that evening. The survivors of Tel Hai found their position untenable and had no choice but to withdraw, whereupon the Arabs set fire to the village.[10]
