Arab al-Mawasi massacre

On November 2, 1948, two squads of Israeli Defence Forces soldiers captured an encampment of Bedouins at 'Arab al-Mawasi in the eastern Galilee. While some soldiers guarded the Arabs, others went to a nearby hilltop where the headless bodies of two Israeli soldiers were found. In retaliation, the Arabs' dwellings were destroyed and 15 or 16 adult males were shot, 14 of whom died. Unusually, the Arab oral history and the IDF archives agree on the number of dead.
