Nakba in Haifa, residents leaving at gun point as Jewish forces enter the cityPalestine refugees (British Mandate of Palestine - 1948). "Making their way from Galilee in October-November 1948"
Nakba or Al Nakba (Arabic: النكبة) (“disaster ” or “catastrophe” in Arabic) is the term commonly used for the Palestinian Catastrophe, an event in the then-recently founded State of Israel, that happened to the Palestinians in 1948. Jewish militia forces that later became the Israeli army, conducted a major operation affecting the local Palestinian Arab population during the1947–1949 Palestine war. Over 500 Arab-majority towns and villages were depopulated, with many of these being either completely destroyed or repopulated by Jewish residents and given new Hebrew names. Approximately, Half of Palestine's previous Arab population, 750,000 people, fled from their homes or were removed forcefully by Zionists.[1] The actions resulted in the massacres, fleeing, or driving out of a majority of Palestinian Arabs from historic Palestine and subsequently the State of Israel. Those who were displaced now live in the occupied West Bank, the Gaza Strip and neighbouring Arab states. In addition, thousands of Palestinians were killed and injured during this period of conflict.[2]
