THE DAWAYMEH MASSACRE
Source: UN.Org
Little is known about the brutal massacre of Arab peasants in the
village of Dawaymeh on 28/10/48. Dawaymeh is situated a few
kilometres West of Hebron. It had a population of six thousand
people. Some four thousand Arab refugees had taken refuge in the
village prior to the massacre. The reason why so little is known
about this massacre which, in many respects, was more brutal than
the Deir Yassin massacre, is because the Arab Legion (the Army in
control of that area) feared that if the news was allowed to
spread, it would have the same effect on the moral of the
peasantry that Deir Yassin had, namely to cause another flow of
Arab refugees.
