19 abr 1936 año - 1936 Jaffa riots

Descripción:

On 19 April, rumors spread in the Arab community that "many Arabs had been killed by Jews", and Arabs began to attack Jews in the streets of Jaffa.[6][12] An Arab mob marched on the Jewish-owned Anglo-Palestine Bank. Members of the Palestine Police Force guarding the bank defended themselves by firing into the mob, killing two of the rioters. This incited the mob to "fury" and Jews began to be killed in the streets, destruction of Jewish property and arson attacks that destroyed Jewish homes forced 12,000 Jews to flee Jaffa as refugees. 9,500 were housed by the Tel Aviv municipality, imposing a heavy financial burden on the city. Seventy-five temporary shelters were created in schools, synagogues, government and industrial buildings.[4] During May and June the Haganah was able to stabilize the security situation to the point where about 4,000 of the refugees were able to return to their homes.[4] Others found housing privately, so that by July only 4,800 remained in public refugee camps; 3,200 of these were utterly destitute.[4] By November, Jewish charities had placed even the destitute refugees in housing, and the refugee camps were closed.[4

The rioting went on for a total of 3 days, it was finally suppressed by British security forces.

9 Jews killed, 40 Jews wounded (11 critically) in Arab attack in Jaffa. Police killed two attackers. Further 7 Jews and 3 Arabs killed the next day[12][13][14]

This event lead to the incorporation of the Jewish neighbourhoods of Jaffa into Tel-Aviv, leading to the creation of modern day "Tel Aviv-Jaffa".
