Classified documents detail 1948 Nakba massacres of Palestinians by Israeli forces
Newly uncovered documents have divulged the details of the massacres of Palestinians during the Nakba, or “Catastrophe, when the ethnic cleansing of more than 700,000 Palestinians took place along with the destruction of more than 500 villages as Israel was created in 1948.
According to the letters of soldiers, unpublished contemporary memoirs, minutes of political party meetings and other historical records, Israeli newspaper Haaretz and the Akevot Institute for Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Research have shed light on three massacres committed by Israeli forces in the villages of Reineh, Meron and al-Burj.
The documents show that prominent Israeli leaders "knew in real time about the blood-drenched events that accompanied the conquest of Arab villages".
The Israeli historical records reveal that a massacre of 14 Palestinians took place in September 1948 in the Galilean village of Reineh, near Nazareth.
