Massacre in Qibya
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
In response to escalating border clashes with Palestinian militia, Israeli forces began an operation to destroy the village of Qibya, which was believed to be harboring militants. The attacks led to the deaths of over 60 Palestinian Arabs and the demolition of numerous houses. Israel was condemned by the UN, and historians continue to debate this dark day in Israeli-Arab history. Who was the commander of Unit 101 that, along with a paratroop company, carried out the attack?
