The fighting was over at about 11:00 am. The fighters begin to clean up the houses to secure them. Irgun's commander Ben-Zion Cohen noted: "[We] felt a desire for revenge." One villager has stated that the attackers appeared to have been set off by an Irgun commander's death, still others reported that upon discovering an armed man disguised as a woman, one guerrilla began shooting everyone around, followed by his comrades joining in. In the afternoon prisoners were taken on the village trucks to a victory parade in the Jewish neighbourhoods ...

Arab Liberation Army: Encyclopedia II - Capture of Haifa in 1948 - Background

The city of Haifa, on the Mediterranean coast at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Sharon, was among the most strategic locations in Palestine. Under the 1947 UN Partition plan, it was within the area allocated to a Jewish state. Haifa was the country's largest port, and had an oil refinery and oil terminal and pipeline. The port of Haifa made it possible for the Jews to receive supplies and armaments before and during the war. The Zionist leadership considered it vital for the new state of Israel, and a ...

1948 Arab-Israeli War - First phase: November 29 1947 - April 1 1948. Right after the UN partition plan was approved, joint Jordanian, Egyptian, Syrian, Lebanese and Iraqi troops invaded Palestine, which Israel, the United States, the Soviet Union, and UN Secretary-General Trygve Lie called illegal aggression. The British Army frequently intervened, but as the end of British involvement in Palestine drew nearer and attacks on them by Irgun and Lehi increased, their intervention grew steadily more inconsistent and ...

Arab Liberation Army: Encyclopedia II - Deir Yassin massacre - Number of dead wounded and prisoners

In 1948 participants, observers and journalists wrote that as many as 254 villagers were killed that day. Everyone had an interest in publicizing a high Arab casualty figure: the Haganah, to tarnish the Irgun and Lehi; the Arabs and the British to blacken the Jews; the Irgun and Lehi to provoke terror and frighten Arabs into fleeing the country. Arabs used the incident to unify and invigorate Arab anger against the Jews - resulting in the Hadassah medical ...

Arab Liberation Army: Encyclopedia II - Deir Yassin massacre - Battle plans

During the battle for Kastel, the Irgun and Lehi took their plan to attack Deir Yassin to Haganah for coordination. Rivalry between them made matters tense. The guerillas contacted David Shaltiel, the Haganah district commander, and asked for his approval. Shaltiel was surprised by their choice and asked: "Why go to Deir Yassin? It is a quiet village. There is a non-aggression pact between Givat Shaul and the Mukhtar of Deir Yassin. The village is not a security problem in any way. Our problem is in the battle for the Qastel. I suggest you p ...

Deir Yassin very quickly became an ideological bait in the propaganda war between Israel and the Arab states. Panic flight of Arabs across Palestine intensified. It was also used as a strong argument for the Arab states to intervene against Israel, Arab League chief Azzam Pasha said "The massacre of Deir Yassin was to a great extent the cause of the wrath of the Arab nations and the most important factor for sending [in] the Arab armies**. Moreover an Arab retaliatory strike came very quickly. Just four days after the massacre at Deir ...

Arab Liberation Army: Encyclopedia II - Capture of Haifa in 1948 - The battle

After the UN resolution to partition Palestine, the Jewish neighborhoods of Haifa were under constant attacks by Arab snipers. The neighborhoods of Hadar suffered major shelling from the Arab neighborhood of Halisa. Further attacks were carried on from the Arab villages on the shore of the Mediterranean, blocking transportation between the Jewish neighborhoods of Haifa and Tel Aviv.

Arab Liberation Army: Encyclopedia II - 1948 Arab-Israeli War - Background

Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, the League of Nations granted the British and the French temporary colonial administration over former Ottoman provinces south of present day Turkey. These regions had been called vilayets under the Ottomans, but were referred to as mandates at the time, after the process that allocated them. The two powers drew arbitrary borders, dividing the area into four sections. Three of these -- Iraq, ...

Arab Liberation Army: Encyclopedia II - Deir Yassin massacre - Historical background

The Deir Yassin event occurred during the so-called "civil war" period of fighting (from December 1947 to mid-May 1948) inside Palestine between Jews and Arabs as British rule dissolved, and while the United Nations General Assembly partition recommendation of December 1947 for Palestine's future governance remained unenforced. This period ended and was replaced by more general regional war when the British Mandate over Palestine ended on 15 May 1948 and at the same time Israel declared its statehood. That broader conflict is more generally known as ...

The Deir Yassin events began with an attack on April 9, 1948, in which several Jewish armed factions seized and occupied the Arab town of Deir Yassin, simultaneous with Jewish attempts to break the siege of western Jerusalem, although the levels of provocation, military necessity and authority justifying the action remain controversial.The village had previously entered into a non-agression pact with Israel. During the takeover or related holding of the village, according to conclusions drawn from villager oral histories in a 1998 study by B ...

Arab Liberation Army: Encyclopedia II - Deir Yassin massacre - The question of foreign Arab ALA troops in Deir Yassin

It is highly unlikely that there were more than at most half a dozen foreign fighters in Deir Yassin at the time of the attack. Earlier that year the ALA had repeatedly urged the villagers to let soldiers enter the village but they were denied every time. On January 11, an Arab group tried to set up a base in the village. But the inhabitants resisted this with force which led to the miller's son getting killed. In the end the attempt was frustrated. (Information from ...
