 Ein al Zeitun massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ein al Zeitun massacre occurred on May 1, 1948 at the Arab village of Ein al Zeitun (also known as Ein Zaytun, Ein ez Zeitun and Ein Zeitim) just north of Safed, Israel, then part of the British Mandate for Palestine.
The attack on Ein al Zeitun was conducted by the 3rd Battalion of the Palmach under the command of Moshe Kelman, as a preliminary operation to relieve the Arab siege of the Jewish quarter of Safed.
The destruction of Ein al Zeitun and the consequent massacre terrified the Arabs of Safed and probably contributed to their flight in the coming days (see Safed).
