feb 29, 1920 - Franco - Syrian war spillover into Mandatory Palestine

Description:

At the beginning of the Franco-Syrian War, the Upper Galilee was populated by several semi-nomadic Bedouin Arab tribes, the largest residing in Halasa, and four tiny Jewish settlements, including Metula, Kfar Giladi, Tel Hai and Hamra. While the Arab villages and Bedouin allied with the Arab Kingdom of Syria, the Jewish residents chose to remain neutral during the Arab conflict with the French.[5][4][6]

Early in the war, a Kfar Giladi resident was killed by armed Bedouin, greatly increasing tension in the region. Jewish villages were regularly pillaged by the pro-Syrian Bedouin on the pretext of searching for French spies and soldiers. In one incident, Trumpeldor and other Jews were stripped of their clothes as a public insult by an Arab Bedouin militia.[7][8][6]

Be Aware: The date is unspecified except occuring "early in the Franco - Syrian war", the war having started on March 1st 1920. However, it is impossible that this had occured before the Battle of Tel Hai, which occured on the same date, and it is impossible for it to have happened afterwards, since Trumpeldor had already been killed by then, therefore I decided to place it a day prior, for transperancy sake, this date is most likely completely inaccurate,
