Al-Khisas massacre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The al-Khisas massacre took place in al-Khisas on December 18, 1947 near to the Syrian border and was carried out by Haganah militants, possibly from Palmach. It was a reprisal for casualties suffered in Safad and for the murder of a Jewish citizen by an Arab citizen near al-Khisas. Ten Palestinians were killed, five of them children. Five were wounded.
