13 lugl 1948 anni - The Lydda Massacre

Descrizione:

The events in Lydda in 1948, during the Arab-Israeli War following the end of the British Mandate in Palestine, included the occupation of the city by Israeli forces and the subsequent expulsion of its Arab inhabitants. This occurred between the first and second truce of the war, from July 9 to July 12, 1948. The operation led to a mass exodus and death of many residents, characterized by historians like Benny Morris as acts of "ethnic cleansing." The expulsion order was reportedly approved by Israeli leaders, including David Ben-Gurion, and executed under the command of Yitzhak Rabin. The events in Lydda are often cited as a significant instance of forced displacement during the 1948 Palestinian exodus, also known as the Nakba ("catastrophe" in Arabic).
