The Dayr Yassin qatliomi 1948 yil 9-aprelda, 130 atrofida sodir bo'lgan^[1] dan jangchilar O'ng qanot Sionist harbiylashtirilgan guruhlar Irgun va Lehi kamida 107 kishini o'ldirgan Falastin arablari ayollar, bolalar, shu jumladan Dayr Yassin, Quddus yaqinidagi taxminan 600 kishilik qishloq. Hujum yahudiy militsiyasi bu vaziyatdan xalos bo'lishga intilayotgan paytda sodir bo'lgan Quddusni qamal qilish davomida Fuqarolar urushi oxiridan oldin bo'lgan Britaniya hukmronligi yilda Falastin.^[4]

1965 yil Misr (UAR ) Dayr Yassin qatliomini xotirlash uchun chiqarilgan shtamp.

Qishloq aholisi yahudiy qurolli kuchlari kutganidan qattiq qarshilik ko'rsatdilar va ular talafot ko'rdilar. Uyma-uy yurishdan keyin qishloq qulab tushdi. Falastinlik arablarning bir qismi jang paytida o'ldirilgan, boshqalari qochishga yoki taslim bo'lishga urinayotganda. Bir qancha mahbuslar qatl etildi, ba'zilari paraddan keyin G'arbiy Quddus.^[1][5][6] Qotillik va keng talon-taroj qilishdan tashqari, tanani buzish va zo'rlash hollari ham bo'lishi mumkin.^[7] G'oliblar tomonidan 254 kishi o'ldirilganligi haqida maqtanishiga qaramay, zamonaviy stipendiya o'lim sonini juda kam deb hisoblaydi. Falastin tarixchisi Aref al-Aref 117 qurbonni hisobladilar, etti kishi jangda, qolganlari o'z uylarida.^[8] Yaradorlar soni 12 dan 50 gacha. Hujumchilarning besh nafari o'ldirilgan va o'nlab kishi yaralangan.^[1]

Qirg'in rahbariyati tomonidan qoralandi Xaganax - yahudiylar jamoatining asosiy harbiylashgan kuchi - ikkala tomon bosh ravvinlar va chet elda mashhur yahudiylar kabi Albert Eynshteyn, Jessurun Kardozo, Xanna Arendt, Sidni Xuk va boshqalar. The Isroil uchun yahudiy agentligi Iordaniyani yubordi Shoh Abdulloh u rad etgan kechirim maktubi.^[4] U ularni qirg'in uchun javobgar qildi,^[9] va shunga o'xshash hodisalar boshqa joylarda sodir bo'lsa, "dahshatli oqibatlar" haqida ogohlantirdi.^[10]

Qirg'in eng muhim voqea bo'ldi Arab-Isroil mojarosi demografik va harbiy oqibatlari uchun. Ushbu rivoyat turli tomonlar tomonidan bezatilgan va bir-biriga hujum qilish uchun ishlatilgan - falastinliklar Isroilga qarshi; ishda o'zlarining rollarini o'ynash uchun Xaganah tomonidan; Isroil chap tomoni bilan Irgun va Lehini yahudiylar printsipini buzgan holda Isroil nomini qoralashda ayblashmoqda qo'llarning tozaligi.^[11] Qotillik haqidagi xabar falastinliklar orasida dahshatga tushib, ularni qo'rqitdi qochmoq yahudiy qo'shinlari yutuqlari oldida ularning uylari va bu arab hukumatlarining aralashishga bo'lgan qarorini kuchaytirdi, ular besh hafta o'tgach bunga erishdilar.^[4] Deyr Yassin qirg'inidan to'rt kun o'tib, 13 aprel kuni qasos hujumi Hadassa tibbiyot kolonnasi Quddusda 78 odam yahudiylarning o'ldirilishi bilan yakunlandi, ularning aksariyati tibbiyot xodimlari edi.^[12][13]

Siyosiy va harbiy vaziyat

Deyr Yassinga qarshi hujum Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkilotidan bir necha oy o'tgach sodir bo'ldi taklif qilingan Falastin arab davlatiga va yahudiy davlatiga bo'linadi. Arablar bu taklifni rad etishdi va fuqarolar urushi boshlandi.

Buyuk Britaniya hukmronligi tugashidan bir necha oy oldin, "Urushlar jangi" deb nomlanuvchi fuqarolar urushi bosqichida Arab Ligasi - homiylik Arab ozodlik armiyasi (ALA) - Falastinliklardan va boshqa arablardan tashkil topgan - yahudiy jamoalarini bir-biridan ajratib qo'yish maqsadida yahudiylarning katta yo'llarda harakatlanishiga hujum qildi.^[14] ALA Quddus va avtomobil yo'llari bo'ylab bir necha strategik nuqtalarni egallab olishga muvaffaq bo'ldi Tel-Aviv - Quddusning yagona ta'minot yo'li va shaharning g'arbiy tomoniga bog'lanish (Falastindagi barcha yahudiylarning 16 foizi yashagan) - va shaharga sayohat qilayotgan karvonlarga o'q otishni boshladi. 1948 yil mart oyigacha yo'l uzilib, Quddus qamal ostida qoldi. Bunga javoban Xaganah ishga tushirildi Nachshon operatsiyasi qamalni buzmoq. 6 aprelda strategik pozitsiyalarni ta'minlash maqsadida Xagan va uning zarba beruvchi kuchi Palmach, hujum qildi al-Qastal, Deyr Yassindan ikki kilometr shimolda joylashgan Quddus-Tel-Aviv magistraliga qaragan qishloq.

Irgun va Lehi militsiyasi

Isroilning oltinchi bosh vaziri, Menaxem boshlanadi, hujum paytida Irgun etakchisi bo'lgan, ammo u mavjud emas edi.

Deyr Yassinga hujum qilgan yahudiy kuchlarining aksariyati ikki ekstremistik, yer osti militsiyasiga, Irgun (Etzel, qisqartirilgan IZL) (Milliy harbiy tashkilot) ga tegishli edi. Menaxem boshlanadi, va Lehi (Isroil ozodligi uchun kurashchilar, qisqartirilgan LHI), shuningdek Stern Gang deb nomlanuvchi, ikkalasi ham o'ng qanot bilan birlashtirilgan revizionist sionist harakat. Ko'pincha "revizionistlar" (yoki "dissidentlar") deb nomlanadi, chunki ularning mafkuraviy moslashuvi qarama-qarshi bo'lgan Yishuv dominant (Falastindagi yahudiylar jamoasi) sionist mehnat harakat.

1931 yilda tashkil etilgan Irgun jangarilar guruhi bo'lib, asosiy yahudiy militsiyasi Xaganadan ajralib chiqdi. Davomida 1936–39 yillarda Falastinda arablar qo'zg'oloni Falastinlik arablar bunga qarshi norozilik sifatida Britaniya mandat hokimiyatiga qarshi ko'tarilgan Yahudiylarning ommaviy immigratsiyasi mamlakatda, Irgunning taktikasi avtobus va bozorda portlashlarni o'z ichiga olgan bo'lib, Britaniya va Yahudiy agentligi tomonidan qoralangan. Irgi parchalanuvchi guruhi Lehi, 1940 yilda Ikkinchi Jahon urushi paytida inglizlar bilan sulh e'lon qilish to'g'risida qaror qabul qilganidan so'ng tashkil etilgan. Keyinchalik Lehi Britaniyani Falastindan siqib chiqarishga qaratilgan qator suiqasdlarni amalga oshirdi. 1948 yil aprel oyida Irgunda Quddusda 300, Lehida esa 100 atrofida jangchilar borligi taxmin qilingan.^[15]

Ikkala guruh ham inglizlar va arablarga qarshi ko'plab teraktlar uyushtirgan edi, ammo Deyr Yassin ularning birinchi to'g'ri harbiy amaliyoti edi va guruhlar o'zlarining raqiblari Xaganaga o'zlarining jangovar qudratlarini namoyish etishni xohladilar. Bu, shuningdek, 1940 yilda bo'linishdan keyingi birinchi qo'shma operatsiya edi.

Dayr Yassin

Deyr Yassin va 1948 yilda qurshab olingan

Deyr Yassin a Falastinlik arab Bir necha yuz aholidan iborat qishloq, barchasi Musulmon, 144 uyda yashaydi.^[16] The Xalqaro Qizil Xoch qo'mitasi 400 nafar aholi borligini xabar qildi; Yoav Gelber Britaniyaning majburiy vakolatli raqamlariga asoslanib, 610 ta bo'lganligini yozadi; va Beginning biografisi Erik Silver 800 dan 1000 gacha.^[17] Qishloqlaridan ohaktosh qazib olinishi tufayli aholi tosh kesishdan yaxshi daromad olishga imkon bergani tufayli qishloq nisbatan obod edi.

Qishloq dengiz sathidan 800 metr balandlikda joylashgan tepalikda joylashgan edi^[18] va Tel-Aviv magistralidan ikki kilometr janubda joylashgan.^[2] U G'arbiy Quddusning yahudiy chekkalari bilan chegaradosh edi; Givat Shoul, an Pravoslav vodiyning narigi tomonida, shimoliy-sharqdan 700 metr narida,^[19] va Beyt XaKerem janubi-sharqda. Eng yaqin arab shaharlari bo'lgan Kalunya bir necha kilometr shimoli-g'arbga va Eyn Karem janubi-g'arbiy tomonga bir necha kilometr, qaerda Arab ozodlik armiyasi bazani o'rnatgan edi. Eyn Karem va Deyr Yassinni kesib o'tish Sharafa tizmasi edi (Herzl tog'i ), ilgari Xaganah egallagan strategik muhim balandlik.^[2] Givat Shauldan o'tib, sharq tomon qishloqqa olib boradigan va olib boradigan yagona yo'l.

Ko'pgina ma'lumotlarga ko'ra, qishloq aholisi yahudiy qo'shnilari, xususan, qo'shnilari bilan tinch-totuv yashagan Givat Shoul, xabarlarga ko'ra, ularning ba'zilari Irgun-Lehi qirg'ini paytida qishloq aholisiga yordam berishga harakat qilishgan.^[20]

Tinchlik shartnomasi

1948 yil 20-yanvarda qishloq aholisi Givat Shoul jamoati rahbarlari bilan tinchlik shartnomasini tuzish uchun uchrashdilar. Dayr Yassin qishloq aholisi Givat Shoulga qishloqda falastinlik militsionerlar paydo bo'lishi haqida ma'lum qilishdi, kunduzi kirlarning ayrim turlarini - o'rtada qora bo'lak bo'lgan ikkita oq bo'lakni osib qo'yishdi, kechalari esa chiroq bilan uchta nuqtaga ishora qilib, qo'yishdi. ma'lum bir joyda uchta chiroq. Buning evaziga Givat Shouldan patrullar Quddusga boradigan yo'lda o'z mahallalari orqali o'tib, Deyr Yassin aholisiga transport vositalarida yoki piyoda xavfsiz o'tishni kafolatlashdi.^[21] Givat-Shaul shahridagi Xaganah qo'mondoni Yoma Ben-Sassonning aytishicha, qishloq qo'lga olingandan so'ng, "Dayr Yassin va yahudiylar o'rtasida bironta ham hodisa bo'lmagan".^[22] Ushbu qarash Haganahning maxfiy hisobotida aks ettirilgan bo'lib, unda qishloq "g'arbiy [Quddus] sektorining sodiq ittifoqchilari" bo'lib qolgan.^[2]

Gelber Deyr Yassin va Givat Shoul o'rtasida tinchlik bitimi aprel oyida davom etishi ehtimoldan yiroq emas, chunki boshqa joylarda joylashgan arab va yahudiy jamoalari o'rtasida jangovar harakatlar kuchaygan. 4 aprel kuni Haganah har kuni birlashmoqda Davar "Quddusning g'arbiy mahallalari, Bayt Hakerem va Bayit Vaganga shanba kuni (2-aprel) kechasi Dayr Yassin, Eyn Kerem va Colonia yo'nalishidan otishma uyushtirildi", deb xabar berdi.^[23] Keyingi bir necha kun ichida yahudiylar jamoasi Motza va Tel-Avivga boradigan yo'lda yahudiylarning harakati qishloqdan o'qqa tutildi. 8 aprel kuni Deyr Yassin yoshlari Arab qishlog'ini himoya qilishda qatnashdilar al-Qastal yahudiylar bundan bir necha kun oldin bostirib kirgan: Britaniyaning Falastin politsiyasi tomonidan tuzilgan yaradorlar ro'yxatida Deyr Yassinning bir nechta aholisining ismlari paydo bo'lgan.^[24]

Arab militsiyasi

Arab militsionerlari qishloqda qarorgoh qurishga urinib ko'rgan, natijada o't o'chirish natijasida bitta qishloq aholisi o'ldirilgan. 28 yanvar oldidan, Abd al-Qodir al-Husayniy 400 kishi bilan kelgan va bir necha qishloq aholisini yollashga harakat qilgan, ammo oqsoqollar o'zlarining qarshiliklarini bildirgan va erkaklar davom etishgan. Qishloq rahbari muxtor Quddusga chaqirilib, tushuntirish uchun Arab oliy qo'mitasi (AHC), Falastin arab rahbariyati, qishloqning yahudiylar bilan aloqasi qanday edi: u ularga qishloq aholisi va yahudiylar tinchlikda yashashlarini aytdi. Unga qarshi hech qanday choralar ko'rilmadi va undan tinchlik shartnomasini bekor qilishni so'ramadilar.^[25] 13 fevralda Givat Shoulga hujum qilish uchun arablarning qurollangan to'dasi keldi, ammo Deyr Yassin qishloqlari ularni olib ketishdi, natijada to'da qishloqning barcha qo'ylarini o'ldirdi. 16 mart kuni AHC qishloqqa qo'riqlash uchun bir guruh iroqlik va suriyalik qonunbuzarlarni qabul qilishini so'rab o'z delegatsiyasini yubordi. Qishloq aholisi o‘shanda yo‘q deyishdi va yana 4 aprel kuni^[26] 9-aprel bosqini paytida Irgun jangchilari kamida ikkita chet ellik militsioner bilan uchrashganliklarini aytishdi.^[27]

Lapidot 1992 yilgi xotiralarida Deyr Yassin va Givat Shoul aholisi o'rtasida vaqti-vaqti bilan bo'lib turgan to'qnashuvlarni tasvirlab bergan, 3 aprel kuni Deyr Yassindan yahudiylarning Bet Xakerem va Yefe Nof qishloqlariga o'q uzilgan. Keyinchalik u qishloqni 100 qurolli odam himoya qilganini, uning atrofida zovurlar qazilganini, u erda Iroq va Falastin partizanlari joylashganligini va qishloqning kirish qismida joylashgan qo'riqchi kuchi borligini aytdi.^[27] Morris yozishicha, qishloqda ba'zi militsionerlar joylashgan bo'lishi mumkin, ammo uning fikriga ko'ra dalillar aniq emas.^[28] Uning ta'kidlashicha, o'sha paytda Bog'in qishloqdan qilingan hujumlar yoki chet ellik militsionerlar borligi haqida bir necha yil o'tgach aytmagan.^[1] Gelberning yozishicha, qishloqda militsionerlar borligi to'g'risida hech qanday dalil yo'q va ular borligiga ishonish uchun hech qanday sabab yo'q.^[24]

Guvohlar

Texnik dalillarning etishmasligi tufayli tarixchilarning Deyr Yassin qirg'ini haqidagi rivoyatlari asosan guvohlarning bayonlariga asoslangan. Yoki hujumdan oldin yoki undan biroz vaqt o'tgach tayyorlangan hisobotlar shaklida yoki ko'p yillar o'tib qilingan intervyularda. Quyidagi guvohlar tarixchilar uchun asosiy manbalardir:

Jang rejalari

Hujum qilish to'g'risida qaror

Devid Shaltiel, Quddusdagi Xaganah qo'mondoni hujumni ma'qulladi.^[30]

Irgun va Lehi komandirlari yaqinlashdilar Devid Shaltiel, tasdiqlash uchun Quddusdagi Xaganah qo'mondoni. U dastlab istamas edi, chunki qishloq aholisi hujum qilmaslik to'g'risida bitim imzolagan va hujum qilishni taklif qilishgan Eyn Karem o'rniga. Lehi va Irgun komandirlari bu ular uchun juda qiyin bo'lishidan shikoyat qildilar. Oxir oqibat Shaltiel, hujumchilar qishloqni vayron qilish o'rniga uni egallab olishda davom etishlari sharti bilan, agar uning xarobalari arab militsiyalari tomonidan ishlatilmasligi uchun, yahudiylarni uni qaytarib olishga majbur qiladi.^[1] Uning roziligi qarshilikka duch keldi. Pail qishloq bilan tinchlik shartnomasini buzishga qarshi chiqdi, ammo Shaltiel ularni to'xtatish uchun kuchi yo'qligini ta'kidladi. Pail 1998 yilda Levi aholini xabardor qilishni taklif qilganini aytgan, ammo Shaltiel ularga ogohlantirish orqali operatsiyani xavf ostiga qo'yishdan bosh tortgan.^[20] Lehi shahridan Devid Siton, shuningdek, qishloq tinchliksevar bo'lganligi sababli, u norozilik bildirdi:^[19]

Men shunga o'xshash operatsiya shaharning g'arbiy qismidagi yahudiy mahallalariga zarar etkazishini aytdim, ammo IZL aholisi Deyr Yassin aholisi yahudiy mahallalariga hujum qilishga tayyorlanayotganini aytishdi. Biz tekshirdik va bu haqiqat emasligini bilib oldik. Bizning chaplar qishloqqa kirib, arablar bilan suhbatlashishdi va o'shandan beri ular yahudiylarga zarar etkazishdan manfaatdor emasliklarini va ular tinchliksevar odamlar ekanliklarini eshitishdi.

Morrisning so'zlariga ko'ra, uchrashuvlarni rejalashtirish paytida aholini chiqarib yuborishga kelishilgan. Bundan tashqari, Lehi qochishga qodir bo'lmagan har qanday qishloq aholisini o'lkaning qolgan arablarini dahshatga solish uchun o'ldirishni taklif qildi. Irgun va Lehidan kelgan yig'ilishlarning aksariyat jangchilari "qishloqdagi barcha erkaklarni va bizga qarshi bo'lgan boshqa kuchlarni, xoh qariyalar bo'lsin, xoh ayollar, xoh bolalar bo'lsin, yo'q qilish" uchun edi.^[2] Lapidotning so'zlariga ko'ra, Irgun yuqori qo'mondonligi, shu jumladan Menaxem boshlanadi, e'tiroz bildirdi va qo'shinlarga ayollar, bolalar va mahbuslarni o'ldirmaslik haqida maxsus buyruq berildi.^[28]

Lapidot o'zining esdaliklarida, Irgun va Lexining fikriga ko'ra, Deyr Yassin yahudiy mahallalariga va qirg'oq tekisligiga olib boradigan asosiy yo'lga tahdid solgan deb da'vo qilgan. Bundan tashqari, u qishloqqa qilingan hujum arablarga yahudiylarning Quddus uchun kurashmoqchi ekanligini ko'rsatishini da'vo qildi.^[27] Ilgari ko'rsatmalarida u Irgun va Lehi bazalarini ta'minlash uchun "sabab asosan iqtisodiy ... o'ljani qo'lga kiritish" deb da'vo qilgan edi.^[3]

Hujum oldidan brifing

Deyr Yassindagi yahudiylarning harbiy brifingi

Mordaxay Raanan Menaxem bilan tashrifi paytida boshlanadi Vashington, Kolumbiya

Morrisning so'zlariga ko'ra, hujumda 130 ga yaqin jangchi qatnashgan, ulardan 70 nafari Irgundan kelgan.^[1] Xogan 132 kishi borligini taxmin qilmoqda; Irgundan 72, Lehidan 60 va yordamchi rollarda xizmat qiladigan ba'zi ayollar.^[2] Hujum boshlanishidan bir necha soat oldin ular 8 aprel kuni brifingda uchrashishdi. Lehi hujumni uyushtiradi Givat Shoul va Irgun Beyt XaKerem. Lapidotning yozishicha, Irgun uchrashuvida kayfiyat bayramona bo'lgan. Bu birinchi marta er osti jangchilarining ochiq uchrashishi edi va guruhlar o'rtasidagi hamkorlik ularning birdamlik hissini oshirdi. Ular kayfiyatni aks ettirish uchun parolni tanladilar ".Ahdut Lohemet"(" Jangchilarning birdamligi "). Bu hujum boshlanganligini ko'rsatadigan ibora edi.

Lapidotning so'zlariga ko'ra, Raanan ayollar, bolalar va qariyalarga zarar yetkazilmasligi kerakligini, qishloq aholisi esa ularga ovoz chiqarib ovoz chiqarib eshitib, ularga qochish imkoniyatini berishlarini ta'kidlagan. Ayn Karimga boradigan yo'l ochiq qolishi kerak edi, shunda ular u erga borishlari mumkin edi.^[27]

Kam miqdordagi arsenal quyidagicha taqsimlandi. Irgunistlar uchta Bren avtomatidan birini, Lehi ikkinchisini, uchinchisi esa karnay uchun ishlatilgan. Har bir miltiqchiga 40 ta o'q, har bir odamga Sten qurolida 100 ta o'q va har bir jangchiga ikkita qo'l granatasi berilgan. Nosilkada tashuvchilarda faqat klublar bor edi. Ularda aloqa vositalari yo'q edi.^[31] Ishonchiga qaramay, jangchilar, aksariyati o'spirinlar, umuman hisobdan yomon tayyorgarlik ko'rgan, tayyor bo'lmagan va tajribasiz edilar.^[32][2]

Hujum kuni

Bosqin

Hujum haqida Irgunning ibroniycha bayonoti^[33]

Inglizcha tarjima

Brifingdan so'ng jangchilar tayinlangan pozitsiyalariga haydaldi. Irgun kuchlari Deyr Yassinga sharqdan va janubdan yaqinlashib, qishloqning chetiga soat 4:30 larda etib kelishdi. Lehi kuchlari bir vaqtning o'zida qishloq atrofida o'z pozitsiyalarini egallashlari kerak edi, lekin aslida kechikishdi. Irgun qo'mondonlari ular bilan bog'lanishning imkoni yo'q edi va ular belgilangan muddatda deb taxmin qilishlari kerak edi. Lehi guruhidan keyin Pail va fotograf. U revizionistlarning jangovar qobiliyatlarini kuzatmoqchi edi.

Janglar soat 04:45 da qishloq qo'riqchisi kirib kelayotgan Irgunistlarni ko'rib, arabchada "Mahmud" deb chaqirgandan so'ng boshlandi. Irgun jangchilaridan biri u parolning bir qismi bo'lgan "Ahdut" deb aytgan deb o'ylagan. U "Lohemet" parolining ikkinchi yarmi bilan javob berdi. Irgun jangchisining so'zlariga ko'ra, arablar "Yahud" (yahudiylar) deb baqirishgan va o't ochishgan.^[34]

Keyin qurolli jang boshlandi. Irgun kuchi uch kishilik qishloq qorovulining beton pill qutisiga va qishloqdagi uylarga qarata o'q otishdi, chunki odamlar jangga qo'shilish uchun miltiqlarini qidirib, derazalardan o'q uzmoqdalar. Irgun odamlari so'nib borayotgan olov bilan dorivor qutiga qarab va qishloqqa javob berishdi.^{[iqtibos kerak ]}

Kechikib qolgan Lehi kuchlari, nihoyat, hujumni boshlash uchun qishloqning narigi chetiga kelganida, janglar allaqachon boshlangan edi. Lehi kuchini karnay bilan zirhli mashina boshqargan.^{[fn 2]} Rejaga ko'ra, transport vositasini qishloq markaziga haydab, arablarni ogohlantiruvchi ogohlantirish berib, aholini Eyn Karim tomon yugurishga undash kerak edi. Buning o'rniga, transport vositasi to'g'ridan-to'g'ri qishloq oldidagi ariqda to'xtab qoldi yoki ag'darildi va u chiqib ketishga urinayotganda arablar unga qarata o't ochishdi. Karnayda ogohlantirish o'qilgan-o'qilmaganligi noma'lum. Yachin shunday dedi:^[35]

Zovurni to'ldirganimizdan keyin sayohatimizni davom ettirdik. Ikki to'siqdan o'tib, uchinchisi oldida, qishloqdan 30 metr narida to'xtadik. Bizning birimiz arablarga karnayni kuchaytiruvchiga qo'ng'iroq qilib, aholiga qurollarini tashlab qochish kerakligini aytdi. Men ular eshitganlarini bilmayman va bu murojaatlarning hech qanday ta'siri bo'lmaganligini bilaman.

Tirik qolgan Abu Mahmud 1998 yilda BBCga bu ogohlantirishni eshitganini aytdi.^[36] Aref Samir ogohlantirishni eshitmaganligini aytdi:^[37]

Qishloqqa ko'p marta [ilgari] komendantlik soati qo'yilgan edi va ingliz ovoz kuchaytirgichi qishloqning bir chekkasida qo'ng'iroq qilganda, men uni boshqa uchida ham bajara olaman; Qolaversa, Givat Shoulning ovozi, hatto karnaychisiz ham bizning qishloqda aniq eshitilar edi. O'sha kuni ertalab biz hech narsa eshitmadik. Na karnay va na qichqiriq. Otishmalar ovozidan biz uyg'onib ketdik.

Agar ogohlantirish o'qilgan bo'lsa, u kuchli o'q ovozlari tufayli yashiringan va ozgina bo'lsa ham, qishloq aholisi buni eshitgan.^[38][1]

Irgun va Lehi qo'mondonlari aholining qochib ketishiga ishonishgan, ammo jangchilar qarshilikka duch kelishgan. Hujumning maqsadi bosqinchilik ekanligini o'ylab, aholi hujumni fath qilish ekanligini tushunmadilar va imkoniyat bor ekan, yugura olmadilar.^[39] Qishloq aholisining g'arbdagi yuqori lavozimlardan, ayniqsa Muxtorning uyidan snayper otishlari hujumni samarali ushlab turdi. Ba'zi Lehi bo'linmalari Xaganahning yordamiga murojaat qilishdi Shneller lageri Quddusda.^[40] Erkaklar kunduzi arablarning qishloqlariga hujum qilish tajribasiga ega emas edilar va ularga yordam qurollari etishmas edi. Irgun qo'mondoni Benzion Koenning buyrug'iga binoan, ular uyga hujum uyushtirishdi, zaryad olishdan oldin har bir uyga granata uloqtirishdi va xonalarni avtomatik olov bilan purkashdi.^[41]

Lehi kuchlari asta-sekin ilgarilab, uyma-uy yurib jang qilishdi. Arablar qarshiligidan tashqari, ular boshqa muammolarga ham duch kelishdi; qurol-yarog 'ishlamay qoldi, pinni tortmasdan bir nechta qo'l granatalarini uloqtirdi va Lehi bo'limi qo'mondoni, Amos Kenan, o'z odamlari tomonidan yaralangan.^[42] Yachin bir necha o'n yillar o'tib bergan intervyusida: "Uy olish uchun siz yoki granata uloqtirishingiz yoki unga kirib borishingiz kerak edi. Agar siz eshikni ochish uchun aqlsiz bo'lsangiz, sizni otib tashlashdi, ba'zida ayollar kiyingan erkaklar , ikkinchi ajablanib sizga qarshi otishma. "^[43] Ayni paytda, qishloqning narigi tomonidagi Irgun kuchlari ham qiyin kunlarni boshdan kechirmoqdalar. Qishloq markaziga borish uchun taxminan ikki soat davomida uyma-uy yurish davom etdi.^[38]

Irgun chekinishni o'ylaydi

Irgun radiosi Dayr Yassin qatliomi paytida eshittirdi

Ertalab soat 7:00 ga qadar to'rtta hujumchi o'ldirilgan. Irgunning eng yaxshi qo'mondoni Ben-Sion Koenning oyog'iga o'q uzildi va uning o'rnini Lapidot egalladi.^[1][2] Irgun qo'mondoni Yuda Segalning qorniga o'q uzilgan va keyinchalik vafot etgan.^[44] Irgun qo'mondonlari orqaga chekinishni o'ylayotganliklari to'g'risida Lehi lageriga xabar tarqatdilar. Lehi qo'mondonlari allaqachon qishloqqa kirib kelganliklarini va tez orada g'alaba qozonishini kutishganini takrorladilar.

Taraqqiyotning yo'qligi va arablar qarshiligidan umidsizlik ular qatl etishni boshlagan mahbuslarga berildi. Koen "biz duch kelgan har bir arabni shu vaqtgacha yo'q qildik" deb xabar berdi.^[2] Lehiyadagi Yehuda Federatsiyasi hujumdan bir necha kun o'tib, uchta arab mahbusini avtomat quroldan otish haqida shunday yozgan edi: "Men qishloqda qurollangan arab odamni va otayotgan arabga yordam berayotgan 16 yoki 17 yoshli ikki arab qizini o'ldirdim. Men ularga qarshi turdim. devor va ularni Tommy qurolidan ikki o'q bilan portlatdi. "^[45] Gorodenchik 80 mahbus o'ldirilgan deb da'vo qildi:^[46]

Bizda mahbuslar bor edi va chekinishdan oldin ularni yo'q qilishga qaror qildik. Biz yaradorlarni ham yo'q qildik, chunki baribir ularga birinchi tibbiy yordam ko'rsatolmadik. Bir joyda, saksonga yaqin arab mahbuslari, ba'zilari o'q uzib, ularga birinchi yordam ko'rsatishga kelganlardan birini o'ldirgandan keyin o'ldirildi. Arab ayollari kabi kiyingan arablar ham topilgan va shu sababli ular mahbuslar to'plangan hududga shoshilmaydigan ayollarni ham otishni boshlashgan.

1981 yilda Aref Samir shunday dedi:^[37]

Soat 5: 00dan boshlab A.M. soat 11:00 gacha. ular bilan uyma-uy yurib, muntazam ravishda so'yish sodir bo'ldi. Qishloqning sharqiy chekkasidan hech kim zarar ko'rmadi. Butun oilalar o'ldirildi. Ertalab soat 6: 00da ular qishloqning 25 yoshga to'lgan 21 nafar yosh yigitlarini tutib, ularni bugun pochta bo'limi joylashgan joyda navbat bilan turdilar va qatl qildilar. Ushbu dahshatli tomoshani tomosha qilgan ko'plab ayollar aqldan ozishdi, ba'zilari esa hozirgi kungacha muassasalarda. Ko'z oldida o'g'li o'ldirilganidan keyin o'g'li bilan nonvoyxonadan qaytib kelayotgan homilador ayol o'ldirilib, qornini sindirib tashladi. Fath qilingan qishloq uylaridan birida Bren pulemyoti o'rnatilgan bo'lib, u o't o'chiruvchilarning barchasini otib tashlagan. Amakivachcham bir necha daqiqa oldin otib tashlangan amakisiga nima bo'lganini ko'rish uchun tashqariga chiqdi va u ham o'ldirildi. Uning orqasidan chiqqan otasini o'sha Bren o'ldirgan va yaqinlariga nima bo'lganini bilish uchun kelgan onasi ularning yonida vafot etgan. Givat Shoulda qo'riqchi bo'lgan Aish eydan nima bo'layotganini ko'rish uchun keldi va u o'ldirildi.

Gelber Gorodenchikning figurasi shishirilgan va tasdiqlanmagan deb yozadi. Kan'ana 25 qishloq aholisi qatl etilganini va jangdan so'ng karerga tashlanganligini yozdi, Gelber buni to'g'ri deb hisoblaydi.^[47] Tirik qolganlarning ko'rsatmalariga ko'ra, ertalab 33 ga yaqin tinch aholi qatl etilgan.^[2]

Yahudiylarning ko'p sonli yaradorlari muammo edi. Zalman Meret uni chaqirdi Magen Devid Adom tez yordam uchun stantsiya.^[44] Jangchilar uylardan karavotlarni olib chiqishdi va menteşelerinin eshiklarini ochishdi, yaradorlarni ustiga yotqizishdi va arablarning otashinini to'xtatish uchun arab ayollari va keksa erkaklarga jarohat olganlarni tez yordamga olib borishni buyurdilar.^[2] Gorodenchikning so'zlariga ko'ra, arab nosilkachilariga baribir olov tegdi. Tez tibbiy yordam ba'zi yaradorlar bilan ertalab soat 8:00 da jo'nab ketdi.^[44]

Hujumchilarda o'q-dorilar kam bo'lganida, Lehi aholisi Xagandan o'q-dorilarni talab qilish uchun Lager Shnellerga borgan. Weg lagerda bo'lmagan va uning o'rinbosari Moshe Eren qaror qabul qilishdan bosh tortgan. Weg qaytib kelganida, ularga 3000 ta o'q berdi. Ular Weg rad etgan qurollarni ham so'radilar.^[44] Xaganah otryadlari shuningdek, janub tomon qochayotgan qishloq aholisini o'qqa tutib, yong'inni ta'minladilar Eyn Karem va arablarning har qanday qo'shimcha kuchlarini qishloqqa etib borishining oldini olish.^[1][2]

Portlovchi moddalardan foydalanish

Dayr Yassindagi uylarning eshiklari tajovuzkorlar o'ylaganidek, yog'ochdan emas, temirdan yasalgan va ular uylarga kirish qiyin bo'lgan.^[48] Lapidot Givat Shouldan taraqqiyotni kuzatayotgan Raananga portlovchi moddalarni yuborish to'g'risida xabar yubordi. Ko'p o'tmay, Raanan va uning yordamchilari TNT bilan to'ldirilgan sumkalar bilan paydo bo'lishdi. Irgun jangchilariga dinamit uylari oldinga siljish paytida ko'rsatma berildi. Yong'in ostida dinamit guruhlari oldinga o'tib, uylarga ayblovlar qo'yishdi. Ba'zi hollarda, portlashlar kuchi uylarning butun qismlarini vayron qilib, ularning ichiga arablarni ko'mgan. Jami 15 ta uy portlatilgan.^[38]

Eshik portlatilganda Zeydan oilasi bilan yashirganini va boshqasini esladi. Hujumchilar ularni tashqariga olib chiqishdi, u erda allaqachon yaralangan erkak va uning qizlaridan birini qatl etishdi. Keyin uning ikki oila a'zosi o'ldirildi: "Keyin ular akam Mahmudni chaqirib, bizning huzurimizda uni otib tashladilar va onam qichqirganida va akamga egilganda (u hali ham ko'krak suti bilan boqiladigan kichkina singlim Xadrani ko'tarib yurgan edi) mening onam ham. "^[2]

Uylar portlatilganmi yoki yo'qmi, bu bahsli. Amerikalik tarixchi Metyu Xogan ular bo'lmagan deb da'vo qilmoqda. U o'z ko'rsatuvida "Deyr Yassindagi uy bombardimon qilinganiga" va qishloq qulaganidan keyin mustaqil ravishda mehmonlarga tashrif buyurganiga ishonch bildirgan Pailni keltiradi. Ular orasida Xaganah operatsiyasi xodimi Eliyaxu Arbel uylarning ichida o'lik topilganini, ammo "jangovar alomatlari bo'lmagan va uylarni portlatish natijasida emasligini" esladi va hujumda qatnashmagan, ammo tashrif buyurgan Irgunist Menaxem Adler. bir necha kundan keyin qishloq, "Men har doim aytilgan vayronagarchilikni ko'rmadim" dedi. Xogan "tajribasiz va kam ta'minlangan jangchilarning himoya ostida bo'lgan uylar atrofida portlovchi moddalarni samarali boshqarishi ehtimoldan yiroq emas", deb hisoblaydi.^[2] Uning so'zlariga ko'ra, agar portlovchi moddalar ishlatilgan bo'lsa, yaradorlar va parchalanib ketgan jasadlar soni ancha ko'p bo'lgan bo'lar edi.^[49] Buning o'rniga Xoganning ta'kidlashicha, portlovchi moddalar haqidagi voqea jinoyatchilar tomonidan o'lim sonining ko'pligini ataylab qirg'in sifatida emas, balki jang natijasi sifatida tushuntirish uchun ishlatilgan.^[2]

Palmach aralashadi

Biroz vaqt o'tgach, ikkitasi Palmach ikkita zirhli mashinada Weg va Moshe Eren qo'mondonlik qilgan va ikkita ikki dyuymli minomyot ko'targan bo'linmalar keldi.^[44] To'liq qachon aniq emas; Milshteyn "peshin vaqtida" Hogan "ni soat 10:00 ga yaqin" deb yozadi.^[44][2] Weg o'z hisobotida aralashuvni quyidagicha tasvirlab berdi:^[50]

Men Koloniyadan Quddusga boradigan yo'lni ta'minlaydigan joyda edim. Soat 6: 30da menga Deyr Yassin va ularning umidsiz ahvoli haqida xabar berishdi, chunki ular yaralarini olib chiqa olmadilar. Ular qurol-yarog ', qopqoq va xodimlarni so'rashadi, chunki ularning professionallari yo'q edi. Batalyon razvedkachisi orqali tuman komandiridan ruxsat so'radim. Javob: "Siz faqat yaradorlarni olib chiqish uchun qopqoq berishingiz kerak" - men ikkala guruhdagi qo'mondonlar bilan uchrashdim va xaritani so'radim va batafsil tushuntirishni talab qildim - ular o'zlari bilan aloqasi yo'qligini tushuntirishdi yuguruvchilar tomonidan --- ular qishloqning g'arbiy qismidagi ma'lum bir uyni eslatib o'tdilar. ––– u erda ikkita pulemyot va miltiq bilan qurollangan 25 kishi bor edi, ular snayperlar tomonidan urib tushirildi. Ular orasida hech qanday zobit yo'q edi va erkaklar buyruqlarga bo'ysunmadilar, chunki ular turli guruhlarga mansub edi. Binoning shimoliy qanotiga 3 ta snaryad otdim. Otishma tugagandan so'ng otishma to'xtadi --- men tuman qo'mondoniga xabar berdim va buyruq oldim: "siz yaradorlarni olib tashlashni yoki orqaga chekinishni tayyorlashga tayyor bo'lishingiz kerak, ammo siz biron bir jangovar harakatga aralashmasligingiz kerak".

Pail Wegdan yordam so'ragan aynan Moshe Idelshteyn bo'lganligini aytdi:^[20]

Ko'p o'tmay, men Palmach rota komandiri Yaki Wegning 15-17 yigitlar bilan g'arbiy qishloqqa tik shimoliy yon bag'irlab ketayotganini ko'rdim. U taxminan 15 daqiqada qishloqning o'sha qismini egallab oldi. Men unga qo'shilganimdan so'ng, u menga ba'zi odamlarni Lager Shnellerdan Quddusga olib boradigan asosiy yo'lni boshqaradigan qabriston joylashgan asosiy tizmaga joylashtirish uchun yuborilganini aytdi, chunki u erda konvoy bo'lishi kerak edi. kun. Uning so'zlariga ko'ra, Moshe Idelshteyn uning oldiga kelib, ular o'sha tog 'tizmasidan ikki kilometr janubda Deyr Yassinga hujum qilmoqdalar va muammoga duch kelishgan. U muammoga duch kelgan yahudiylarga yordam berish kerakligini aytdi, shuning uchun u minomyotni o'rnatdi va o'z guruhining bir guruhi bilan qishloqqa hujum qildi.

Muxtorning uyiga minomyot uch marta otilgan, bu esa snayperlar olovini to'xtatgan. Vaziyatni ko'rib chiqib, Weg barcha dushmanona olovni bostirishdan oldin yaradorlarni evakuatsiya qilish mumkin emas degan xulosaga keldi. Shunday qilib, uning vazifasi qishloqni egallashga qadar kengaytirildi.^[2]

Bir Palmach jangchisining so'zlariga ko'ra, "oltitamiz granata uloqtirib, ichkariga kirib uyga bordik".^[51] Lehi ofitseri Devid Gotlibning aytishicha, Palmach "biz bir necha soat ichida bajara olmagan ishni bir soat ichida" bajardik.^[52] Hikoyani Palmach jangchisi Kalman Rozenblatt tasdiqladi: "Men oltita [odam bilan birga] uyma-uy yurdim. Biz uylarga kirishimizdan oldin ularga granata tashladik. Biz o'rtada Lehi va Etsel [Irgun] odamlarini uchratdik. Ulardan ba'zilari biz bilan qo'shilishdi, boshqalari "shu paytgacha biz jang qildik, endi sizlar jang qilasizlar" deyishdi. Uylarda o'liklar bor edi, muxoliflar jang qilmadilar. "^[53] Xoganning yozishicha, Palmachning tezkor va jarohatlarsiz yutug'i hamda Irgun va Lehining oz sonli yo'qotilishi Deyr Yassinning himoyasi na qattiq va na professional ekanligini namoyish etadi.^[2]

Tozalamoq

Palmachning tezkor ishlashi tufayli janglar soat 11:00 ga yaqin tugadi. Ba'zi qishloq aholisi qochib ketgan va yahudiy yaradorlariga davolanishgan. Taxminan soat 11:30 da Koen evakuatsiya qilindi.^[54] Ayni paytda palmachniklar va revizionistlar ularni "tozalash" va xavfsizligini ta'minlash uchun uyma-uy yurishdi. Pail Weg bilan uchrashdi va uni Deyr Yassindan chiqishga undadi: "bu erdan yiroq bo'l! Irgun va Stern Gang [Lehi] bilan aralashma".^[2] Tez orada Palmach bo'limi Schneller lageriga yo'l oldi.^[53] Pail Wegdan ketishni so'raganidan afsuslandi: "Bugunga qadar qilgan xatoim meni hayratda qoldiradi. Men Yaki va uning odamlarini tark etishlariga yo'l qo'ymasligim kerak edi, lekin u erda qirg'in bo'lishini tasavvur qilmagan edim. Agar o'sha Palmach yigitlari qolishganida edi, dissidentlar qirg'in qilishga jur'at etmas edilar. Agar biz buni ko'rsak, biz qurollarimizni qoqib, ularga to'xtashlarini aytgan bo'lardik. "^[20]

1972 yilda Raanan jurnalistga uning odamlari uyni Segal qulagan deb topganligini aytdi. Hujumchilar ochiq havoda portlatmoqchi bo'lgan yaqin atrofdagi to'qqiz kishi, shu jumladan ayol va bola taslim bo'lishdi. Bren pulemyotini olgan odam "Bu Yiftax uchun [Segalning nom de guerre] uchun!" Deb baqirdi. va ularni o'qqa tutdi.^[2] Yisrayel Natach shayning a'zosi edi va Eyn Karemda joylashgan kuni edi. U Deyr Yassindan qochib kelgan qishloq aholisidan bir arab jangchisi o'zini ayol qiyofasida yashirganligi va hujumchilarning g'azabiga sabab bo'lganligi haqida hikoyalarni eshitdi:^[55]

Deyr Yassindan qochqinlar keladi va yahudiylar arab jangchilari o'zlarini ayollar qiyofasida yashirganligini bilib qolishdi. Yahudiylar ayollarni ham qidirishdi. Tekshirilayotgan odamlardan biri uning qo'lga tushganini payqab, to'pponcha chiqarib yahudiy qo'mondonini otib tashladi. G'azabdan aqldan ozgan do'stlari har tomonga o'q uzishdi va atrofdagi arablarni o'ldirishdi.

Pa'il recalled hearing the shooting start anew:^[20]

The fighting was over, yet there was the sound of firing of all kinds from different houses. Sporadic firing, not like you would hear when they clear a house. I took my chap with me and went to see what was happening. We went into houses. ... In the corners we saw dead bodies. Almost all the dead were old people, children or women, with a few men here and there. They stood them up in the corners and shot them. In another corner there were some more bodies, in the next house more bodies and so on. They also shot people running from houses, and prisoners. Mostly women and children. Most of the Arab males had run away. It is an odd thing, but when there is danger such as this, the agile ones run away first. ...

I couldn’t tell if it was Lehi people or Etzel people doing the killing. They went about with glazed eyes as though entranced with killing. ...

... I did not know their commanders, and I didn’t want to expose myself, because people were going around there, as I wrote in my report, with their eyes rolled about in their sockets. Today I would write that their eyes were glazed over, full of lust for murder. It seemed to be going on everywhere. Eventually it turned out that in the Lehi sector there were more murders, but I didn’t know that then. I didn’t know what to do.

Mohammed Jabar, a boy at the time, remembered hiding under a bed and observing the attackers "break in, drive everybody outside, put them against the wall and shot them." He claimed one of the victims was a mother with her baby.^[2] Zeinab Akkel claimed she offered her life savings to an attacker in exchange for sparing her younger brothers life: "my husband had given me $400. I offered it ... and said, 'Please leave my brother alone, he is so young.'" He took the money "and shot him in the head with five bullets."^[3] Zeidan, who was taken prisoner, recalled meeting another group of captives: "We walked with some other women from the village, then came across a young man and an older man, with their hands up in the air, under guard." "When they reached us, the soldiers shot them." The young man's mother was in Zeidan's group and she started hitting the fighters that killed her son, so "one of them stabbed her with a knife a few times."^[3]

Houses and corpses were pillaged and money and jewelry were stolen from prisoners.^[32] Shaltiel got reports on what was happening in Deir Yassin and sent Gichon there to convince the revisionists to stop the massacre. The revisionists were initially reluctant to let him enter:^[56]

Before we got to the village we saw people carrying bodies to the quarry each of Deir Yassin. We entered the village around 3:00 in the afternoon. Shots were heard. Shots were heard. They stopped me at the entrance. I identified myself, and said that my mission was to check the situation in the village, and I demanded that I be allowed to enter. The said 'You will not enter, and if you try we will open fire on you'. I said I would use force. They consulted, and suggested that I come in alone, without my people. I agreed, and the people of my platoon waited outside the village. Afterwards people calmed down and they let some of my men enter.

Gichon told them "not to throw the bodies into cisterns and caves, because that was the first place that would be checked." He described beatings, looting, and the stripping of jewelry and money from prisoners. He wrote that the initial orders were to take the men prisoner and send the women and children away, but the order was changed to kill all the prisoners. The mukhtar's son was killed in front of his mother and sisters, he said.^[57] The most detailed report comes from Pa'il who spied on the revisionists on behalf of the Haganah:^[58]

The dissidents were going about the village robbing and stealing everything: Chickens, radio sets, sugar, money, gold and more ... Each dissident walked about the village dirty with blood and proud of the number of persons he had killed. Their lack of education and intelligence as compared to our soldiers [i.e., the Haganah] was apparent.

Pa'il writes that the Haredi people of Givat Shaul came to help the villagers at around 2 p.m., and were able to stop the killing:^[59][20]

[A] crowd of people from Givat Shaul, with peyot (earlocks), most of them religious, came into the village and started yelling "gazlanim" "rotzchim"—(thieves, murderers) "we had an agreement with this village. It was quiet. Why are you murdering them?" They were Chareidi (ultra-orthodox) Jews. This is one of the nicest things I can say about Hareidi [sic] Jews. These people from Givat Shaul gradually approached and entered the village, and the Lehi and Irgun people had no choice, they had to stop. It was about 2:00 or 3:00 PM. Then the Lehi and Irgun gathered about 250 people, most of them women, children and elderly people in a school house. Later the building became a "Beit Habad"—"Habad House". They were debating what to do with them. There was a great deal of yelling. The dissidents were yelling "Let's blow up the schoolhouse with everyone in it" and the Givat Shaul people were yelling "thieves and murderers—don't do it" and so on. Finally they put the prisoners from the schoolhouse on four trucks and drove them to the Arab quarter of Jerusalem near the Damascus gate. I left after the fourth truck went out.

It was Friday afternoon. It must have been about 4:00–5:00 P.M because the religious people had begun leaving to prepare for the Shanba.

Pa'il went home and wrote a report about what he had seen while his photographer developed the negatives. The next day he submitted his report.^[20]

Morris writes that the killing continued after April 9. Some villagers who had either hidden or pretended to be dead were apparently killed by Lehi men on April 10 or 11.^[60]

Trucking and parading of prisoners

During the day, prisoners were loaded into trucks that came to and departed from Deir Yassin. Some were paraded through the streets of G'arbiy Quddus, where they were jeered, spat at, and stoned,^[32] some were released in East Jerusalem and some where returned to Deir Yassin were they were executed. Harry Levin, a Haganah broadcaster, reported seeing "three trucks driving slowly up and down King George V Avenue bearing men, women, and children, their hands above their heads, guarded by Jews armed with sten-guns and rifles."^[61] Haganah intelligence officer Mordaxay Gichon wrote on April 10:^[60]

The adult males were taken to town in trucks and paraded in the city streets, then taken back to the site and killed with rifle and machine-gun fire. Before they [i.e, other inhabitants] were put on the trucks, the IZL and LHI men... took from them all the jewelry and stole their money. The behavior toward them was especially barbaric [and included] kicks, shoves with rifle butts, spitting and cursing (people from Givat Shaul took part in the torture).

Pa'il reported that he saw five Arab men being paraded through the streets, and later saw their bodies in a quarry near Givat Shaul. Morris writes that this is supported by two Jewish doctors who visited Deir Yassin on April 12 and reported that they found five male bodies in a house by the village quarry.^[62]

Fifty-five orphans from the village were left by the Yaffa darvozasi to fend for themselves.

Fifty-five children from the village whose parents had been killed were taken to the Yaffa darvozasi in Jerusalem's Eski shahar, and left there. They were found by a Palestinian woman, Hind Xusseyni, a member of the prominent Palestinian Xusseyni oila. She at first rented two rooms for them, bringing them food every day, before moving them to the Sahyoun convent. In July, she moved them again, this time to her family home, a large house her grandfather had built in Jerusalem in 1891. She renamed the house Dar Al-Tifl Al-Arabi (Arab Children's House), and set up a foundation to finance it. The orphanage continues to this day.^[63]

A Shai report from April 12 to Shaltiel read: "Some of the women and children were taken prisoner by the Lehi and transferred to Sheik Bader [Lehi's headquarter in Jerusalem]. Among the prisoners were a young woman and a baby. The camp guards killed the baby before the mother’s eyes. After she fainted they killed her too."^[64] Seven old men and women, who had been taken to Jerusalem, were taken back to Deir Yassin and killed in the quarry there, he wrote, and an Arab man, believed to be a sniper, was killed and his corpse burned in front of foreign journalists.^[32]

Irgun–Lehi press conference

On the evening of April 9, the fighters invited American journalists to a house in Givat Shaul, where they served tea and cookies while explaining the attacks. A spokesman said he regretted the casualties among the women and children, but they were inevitable because every house had to be reduced by force.^[65] Ten houses had been blown up entirely, he said, though historians doubt if that was true.^[2][39] Other houses had their doors blown off and hand grenades thrown inside.^[65]

Keyingi kun

At a news conference on April 10, Raanan untruthfully told reporters on April 10 that 254 Arab bodies had been counted. The figure was repeated by the BBC and the Hebrew news services by The New York Times 13 aprel kuni.^[66]

Eliahu Arbel, Operations Officer B of the Haganah's Etzioni Brigade, visited Deir Yassin on April 10. "I have seen a great deal of war," he said years later, "but I never saw a sight like Deir Yassin."^[67]

The Arab side told de Reynier about the massacre in Deir Yassin and asked him to investigate. He was discouraged from visiting the village by Haganah and the Jewish Agency but insisted on going: "They advised me not to interfere, because if I were to go there, my mission might be ended. They washed their hands in advance of anything that might happen to me if I insisted. I answered that I would fulfill my duty and that I saw the Jewish Agency as directly responsible for my safety and freedom of action, because it is responsible for all territories under Jewish control."^[29]

11 aprel

Morning April 11 de Reynier visited Deir Yassin.^[29] He reported that he had encountered a "cleaning-up team" when he arrived the village:^[68]

The gang [the Irgun detachment] was wearing country uniforms with helmets. All of them were young, some even adolescents, men and women, armed to the teeth: revolvers, machine-guns, hand grenades, and also cutlasses in their hands, most of them still blood-stained. A beautiful young girl, with criminal eyes, showed me hers still dripping with blood; she displayed it like a trophy. This was the "cleaning up" team, that was obviously performing its task very conscientiously.

I tried to go into a house. A dozen soldiers surrounded me, their machine-guns aimed at my body, and their officer forbade me to move ... I then flew into one of the most towering rages of my life, telling these criminals what I thought of their conduct, threatening them with everything I could think of, and then pushed them aside and went into the house

...I found some bodies, cold. Here the "cleaning up" had been done with machine-guns, then hand grenades. It had been finished off with knives, anyone could see that ... as I was about to leave, I heard something like a sigh. I looked everywhere, turned over all the bodies, and eventually found a little foot, still warm. It was a little girl of ten, mutilated by a hand grenade, but still alive ...

In his memoirs, published in 1950, de Reynier wrote:^[68]

a total of more than 200 dead, men, women, and children. About 150 cadavers have not been preserved inside the village in view of the danger represented by the bodies' decomposition. They have been gathered, transported some distance, and placed in a large trough (I have not been able to establish if this is a pit, a grain silo, or a large natural excavation). ... [One body was] a woman who must have been eight months pregnant, hit in the stomach, with powder burns on her dress indicating she'd been shot point-blank.

He also wrote that some of the 150 cadavers had been decapitated and disemboweled.^[69] After his inspection, the Irgun asked him to sign a document to say he had been received courteously and thanking them for their help. When he refused, they told him he would sign it if he valued his life. "The only course open to me was to convince them that I did not value my life in the least," he wrote.^[68] His assistant, Dr. Alfred Engel, wrote:^[70]

In the houses there were dead, in all about a hundred men, women and children. Bu dahshatli edi. I did not see signs of mutilation or rape. It was clear that they had gone from house to house and shot the people at close range. I was a doctor in the German army for 5 years, in WWI, but I had not seen such a horrifying spectacle.

12 aprel

On April 12 before noon, two Jewish doctors, Tzvi Avigdori, the chairman of the Jerusalem branch of the Palestine Physicians Association, and his deputy, A. Druyan, visited Deir Yassin and reported:^[71]

The village was empty. Looted houses. The commanders of the Haganah showed us bodies in different places. A mother and her children that were killed by gunfire, two bodies of women who were killed by shooting. In the quarry five bodies [killed] by shooting, and two youths of 13 or 14 [killed] by shooting; in the Wadi 25 bodies, one over the other, uncovered, children and women. We did not check each body, all were dressed. Limbs were whole. There were no mutilations. They were not buried. There are no burial arrangements. Piles of smoking bodies. There were 12 bodies, and 6 burnt children. We asked for more bodies. Fifteen wounded and 15 bodies were transferred to Jerusalem by the Red Cross. There are other bodies in the houses. The Hagana commanders did not inspect the houses.

Later the same day, troops from Haganah's youth organization Gadna where ordered to the village. They were to relieve of the revisionists but not before they had disposed of the bodies, something they had refused to. The dispute almost lead to violence. Yeshurun Schiff who had accompanied the Gadna troops recalled: "I told the commander [of Etzel or Lehi], 'you are swine.' My people surrounded them. I spoke to Shaltiel by wireless. Shaltiel said, 'Take their weapons, and if they do not surrender their weapons, open fire.' I said, 'I cannot do that to Jews.' Shaltiel said 'That’s an order!' but then he changed his mind." Eventually the revisionists left and the Gadna troops buried the bodies.^[72]

Gadna counsellor Hillel Polity related: "The stench was awful. They brought us gloves from the city, windbreakers and kerchiefs to cover our faces. We transported the bodies, two at a time, by hand, to the quarry. A bulldozer was brought from the city and used to cover the bodies with earth." Gadna commander Shoshana Shatai claimed she saw a woman with a great smashed belly: "I was in shock. On the following day I told the investigator what I had seen."^[73]

Number of Arabs killed

For many decades the number of victims were believed to be around 250, based on Raanan's false estimate. Modern scholarship puts the number at about half that. Sharif Kan'ana of Bir Zayt universiteti interviewed survivors and published figures in 1988; 107 villagers had died, 11 of them armed, with 12 wounded.^[74] Israeli researcher Eliezer Tauber writes that a total of 101 people were killed, 61 definitely in combat circumstances (including 24 armed fighters, with the remained being their family members who were with them); 18 for whom the cause of death could not be determined; about 10 whose deaths are in a "grey zone" whose charactization can be debated; and a further 11 being members of a single family who were gunned down by a single Irgun member.^[75]

Number of attackers killed and injured

Yehuda Slutzky, a former Haganah officer, wrote in 1972 that four attackers were killed and 32 wounded, four of them seriously.^[1] Hogan in 2001 based on an Irgun communique from 11 April, wrote that four killed in the battle and one of the wounded later died, four seriously wounded and 28 "lightly wounded."^[2] Gerber in 2006 wrote that 35 were wounded and five killed.^[39] Morris, also in 2006, put the number of killed to four and a dozen seriously wounded, adding that the number 30 to 40 wounded given by the attackers were likely exaggerated.^[1]

Appeals to the British

The Arab emergency committee in Jerusalem learned of the attack around nine in the morning of April 9, including reports about the killing of women and children. They requested the help of the British, but did nothing further. In the late afternoon, they started to hear reports of women and children being paraded through the streets of Jerusalem. They sent the prisoners food and again appealed to the British army to intervene, to no avail.^[39] Gelber writes that the British were not keen to take on the Irgun and Lehi, who would have fought back if attacked, unlike the Haganah. Oliy komissar Ser Alan Kanningem urged that troops be sent to Deir Yassin, but General-leytenant Ser Gordon MakMillan, Bosh ofitser qo'mondonligi (GOC) ning Falastin va Trans-Iordaniyadagi Britaniya kuchlari, said he would risk British lives only for British interests. The RAF commanding officer offered to fire rockets on the Jewish forces in the village, but the light bombers had been sent to Egypt and the rockets to Iraq.^[76] Cunningham later said the RAF had brought a squadron of Tempest aircraft from Iraq to bomb the village, but he cancelled the operation when he learned the Haganah had arrived there and had garrisoned it.^[77]

Begin hailed the taking of Deir Yassin as a “splendid act of conquest" that would serve as a model for the future: in a note to his commanders he wrote: 'Tell the soldiers: you have made history in Israel with your attack and your conquest. Continue thus until victory. As in Deir Yassin, so everywhere, we will attack and smite the enemy. God, God, Thou has chosen us for conquest.'^[78]

Targ'ibot

The Jordanian newspaper Al Urdun published a survivor's account in 1955, which said the Palestinians had deliberately exaggerated stories about atrocities in Deir Yassin to encourage others to fight, stories that had caused them to flee instead. Every group in Palestine had cause for spreading the atrocity narrative. The Irgun and Lehi wished to frighten the Arabs into leaving Palestine; the Arabs wished to provoke an international response; the Haganah wished to tarnish the Irgun and Lehi; and the Arabs wished to malign both the Jews and their cause.^[79] In addition, Milstein writes, the left-wing Mapai partiya va Devid Ben-Gurion, who became Israel's first prime minister on May 14, exploited Deir Yassin to stop a power-sharing agreement with the right-wing Revisionists—who were associated with Irgun and Lehi—a proposal that was being debated at the time in Tel Aviv.^[80]

Hazem Nuseibeh, the news editor of the Palestine Broadcasting Service at the time of the attack, gave an interview to the BBC in 1998. He spoke about a discussion he had with Hussayn Khalidi, the deputy chairman of the Higher Arab Executive in Jerusalem, shortly after the killings: "I asked Dr. Khalidi how we should cover the story. He said, 'We must make the most of this.' So he wrote a press release, stating that at Deir Yassin, children were murdered, pregnant women were raped, all sorts of atrocities."^[81] Gelber writes that Khalidi told journalists on April 12 that the village's dead included 25 pregnant women, 52 mothers of babies, and 60 girls.^[82]

Allegations of sexual violence

A number of sources alleged there had been instances of rape. Levi wrote on April 13: "LHI members tell of the barbaric behavior of the IZL toward the prisoners and the dead. They also relate that the IZL men raped a number of Arab girls and murdered them afterward (we don't know if this is true)" ^[83] Another source of rape allegations was Assistant Inspector-General Richard Catling inglizlarning Falastin politsiya kuchlari. He led a British police team that conducted interviews with survivors in Silvan the 13th, 15th, and 16 April:^[1]

On 14th April at 10 a.m. I visited Silwan village accompanied by a doctor and a nurse from the Government Hospital in Jerusalem and a member of the Arab Women's Union. We visited many houses in this village in which approximately some two to three hundred people from Deir Yassin village are housed. I interviewed many of the women folk in order to glean some information on any atrocities committed in Deir Yassin but the majority of those women are very shy and reluctant to relate their experiences especially in matters concerning sexual assault and they need great coaxing before they will divulge any information. The recording of statements is hampered also by the hysterical state of the women who often break down many times whilst the statement is being recorded. There is, however, no doubt that many sexual atrocities were committed by the attacking Jews. Many young schoolgirls were raped and later slaughtered. Old women were also molested. One story is current concerning a case in which a young girl was literally torn in two. Many infants were also butchered and killed. I also saw one old woman who gave her age as one hundred and four who had been severely beaten about the head with rifle butts. Women had bracelets torn from their arms and rings from their fingers and parts of some of the women's ears were severed in order to remove earrings.^[84]

Gelber suggests that either the women's testimonies were a result of "the Arab propaganda machine" or that Catling was "an old and bitter enemy" of the Irgun and Lehi and fabricated the reports. The whereabouts of Catling's original reports are unknown, according to Gelber.^[85]

Gelber writes that the stories of rape angered the villagers, who complained to the Arab emergency committee that it was "sacrificing their honour and good name for propaganda purposes."^[86] Abu Mahmud, who lived in Deir Yassin in 1948, was one of those who complained. He told the BBC: "We said, 'There was no rape.' He [Hussayn Khalidi] said, 'We have to say this so the Arab armies will come to liberate Palestine from the Jews.'"^[81] "This was our biggest mistake," said Nusseibeh. "We did not realize how our people would react. As soon as they heard that women had been raped at Deir Yassin, Palestinians fled in terror. They ran away from all our villages."^[81] He told Larry Collins in 1968: "We committed a fatal error, and set the stage for the refugee problem."^[87]

A villager known as Haj Ayish claimed that "there had been no rape." He questioned the accuracy of the Arab radio broadcasts that "talked of women being killed and raped", and instead believed that "most of those who were killed were among the fighters and the women and children who helped the fighters."^[88] Mohammed Radwan, one of the villagers who fought the attackers, said: "There were no rapes. It's all lies. There were no pregnant women who were slit open. It was propaganda that ... Arabs put out so Arab armies would invade. They ended up expelling people from all of Palestine on the rumor of Deir Yassin."^[89] Radwan added "I know when I speak that God is up there and God knows the truth and God will not forgive the liars."^[89]

Historian Abdel Jawad states that women at Deir Yassin spoke to British interrogators about rapes occurring and their opinion that this was the worst thing that happened. He states that it was something that could not be discussed in their society and was never talked of by the men.^[90] Citing Hasso (2000:495) Isabelle Humphries and Laleh Khalili note that in Palestine men's honour was tied to "the maintenance of kin women's virginity (when unmarried) or exclusive sexual availability (when married)", and that this culture led to the suppression of the narratives of rape victims.^[91] Hogan cites one documentary in which one female survivor nods affirmatively when asked about "molestation."^[2]

Denying the massacre

In 1969, the Israeli Foreign Ministry published an English pamphlet "Background Notes on Current Themes: Deir Yassin" denying that there had been a massacre at Deir Yassin, that the village was the home of an Iraqi garrison, and calling the massacre story "part of a package of fairy tales, for export and home consumption".^[1] The pamphlet led to a series of derivative articles giving the same message, mostly outside Israel.^[1] Menachem Begin's Herut party disseminated a Hebrew translation in Israel, causing a widespread but largely non-public debate within the Israeli establishment.^[1] Several former leaders of the Haganah demanded that the pamphlet be withdrawn on account of its inaccuracy, but the Foreign Ministry explained that "While our intention and desire is to maintain accuracy in our information, we sometimes are forced to deviate from this principle when we have no choice or alternative means to rebuff a propaganda assault or Arab psychological warfare."^[1] Levi wrote to Begin: "On behalf of the truth and the purity of arms of the Jewish soldier in the War of Independence, I see it as my duty to warn you against continuing to spread this untrue version about what happened in Deir Yassin to the Israeli public. Otherwise there will be no avoiding raising the matter publicly and you will be responsible."^[1] Eventually, the Foreign Ministry agreed to stop distributing the pamphlet, but it remains the source of many popular accounts.^[1]

Meir Pa'il testimony

Israeli military historian Uri Milshteyn alleged in 1998 that Pa'il was not in Deir Yassin on April 9. Milstein said there were contradictions in Pa'il's claims and an absence of any mention of Pa'il in other Haganah accounts of the incident. All Irgun and Lehi veterans Milstein interviewed denied having seen Pa'il in Deir Yassin, and the Lehi intelligence officer who Pa'il claimed invited him to Deir Yassin denied having done so. In addition, Haganah members who were in the area (including the deputy commander of the Palmach force that took part in the attack), some of whom personally knew Pa'il and were specifically mentioned in his account, denied having seen him there. According to Milstein, Pa'il said he despised the "dissidents", thus giving him a political motive to submit a falsified report. Milstein also wrote that Haganah intelligence reports on the incident were doctored by the authors or their superiors to discredit the Irgun and Lehi because of political in-fighting within the Jewish community.^[92]

Morris challenges Milstein's version that Pa'il was not at Deir Yassin that day with his observation that part of Pa’il’s report, that he saw the bodies of five Arabs in a quarry, "is apparently reinforced by a report by two Jewish doctors, who also report having found five male bodies in a house by the village quarry".^[58] In a presentation to the PEACE Middle East Dialog Group, Ami Isseroff, translator of Milstein's book into English, provided side-notes critical of many aspects of Milstein's work,^[93] including much of his information about Pa'il and also about the incompleteness of his sources – "Both Milstein and Yitzhak Levi leave out key testimony by Yehoshua Gorodenchik, from the Jabotinsky archives, in which he admits that Irgun troops murdered about 80 prisoners – mostly men – corresponding to accounts of refugees."

Pa'il, who died in 2015, defended himself in an interview in 2007: "What the Lehi and Etzel [Irgun] people did in Deir Yassin in April 1948 was a despicable act. It cannot be called by any other name." He maintained that he was sent to Deir Yassin to gauge Lehi and Irgun's fighting capabilities which he found to be lacking: "they didn't know a thing about field war. Worse, I saw that they knew how to massacre and kill... They are angry with me that I said these things. Let them first be angry at themselves." He also attacked Milstein for being "a cheap propagandist for the right-wing considerations of the Zionist enterprise," adding angrily: "I was there, I saw the massacre with my own eyes. Why didn't he ever question me about the things I experienced there?"^[94]

Exodus and invasion

Golda Meyr, disguised as an Arab, appealed to Shoh Abdulloh of Jordan not to invade.

Maksim Rodinson argued that the massacre at Deir Yassin, and the fear of further terrorism that it inspired in the Palestinian population, was a major cause of the subsequent Palestinian flight.^[95] Mapam 's leaders later concluded that the fall of Deir Yassin and Hayfa were the two pivotal events of the Palestinian exodus. On April 14, Irgun radio broadcast that villages around Deir Yassin and elsewhere were being evacuated. HIS intelligence reported that the residents of Beyt Iksa and Al Maliha had fled. Qishloq Fureidis appealed for arms. Ning qishloqlari Fajja va Mansura reached a peace agreement with their Jewish neighbors. Arabs fled from Haifa and Khirbet Azzun. A Haganah attack on Saris encountered no resistance, because of the fear of Deir Yassin, in the view of the British.^[96] Menachem Begin, leader of the Irgun at the time of the attack, though not present at the village, wrote in 1977:

Abdulloh said Deir Yassin had changed things, and that invasion was now unavoidable.

The enemy propaganda was designed to besmirch our name. In the result it helped us. Panic overwhelmed the Arabs of Eretz Isroil. Koloniya village, which had previously repulsed every attack of the Haganah, was evacuated overnight and fell without further fighting. Beit-Iksa was also evacuated. These two places overlooked the main road; and their fall, together with the capture of al-Qastal by the Haganah, made it possible to keep open the road to Jerusalem. In the rest of the country, too, the Arabs began to flee in terror, even before they clashed with Jewish forces. Not what happened at Deir Yassin, but what was invented about Deir Yassin, helped to carve the way to our decisive victories on the battlefield ... The legend was worth half a dozen battalions to the forces of Israel.^[97]

The Deir Yassin attack, along with attacks on Tiberialar, Hayfa va Yaffa, put pressure on Arab governments to invade Palestine. News of the killings had aroused public anger in the Arab world, which the governments felt unable to ignore.^[96] Syria's foreign minister remarked that the Arab public's desire for war was irresistible. The arrival of tens of thousands of refugees further convinced them to act. A consensus favoring invasion began to emerge the day after Deir Yassin, at a meeting on April 10 in Qohira of the Arab League Political Committee.^[98] Golda Meyr, disguised in an Arab robe, met king Abdullah in Amman on May 10–11, the second such meeting between them. During their first, Abdullah had agreed to a partition of Palestine to include a Jewish state. Now, he retracted, suggesting instead a Jewish canton within a Hashemite kingdom. Deir Yassin had changed things, he said. Meir reported later that Abdullah was approaching war "as a person who is in a trap and can't get out". The Arab invasion began at midnight on May 14, when Abdullah fired a symbolic shot in the air, and shouted "Forward!"^[99]

Natijada

Deir Yassin today

Remains of the village inside the Kfar Shoul ruhiy salomatlik markazi.

In 1949, despite protests, the Jerusalem neighborhood of Givat Shaul Bet was built on what had been Deir Yassin's land, now considered part of Xar Nof, an Orthodox area.^[100] Four Jewish scholars, Martin Buber, Ernst Simon, Werner Senator, and Sesil Rot, wrote to Israel's first prime minister, Devid Ben-Gurion, asking that Deir Yassin be left uninhabited, or that its settlement be postponed. They wrote that it had become "infamous throughout the Jewish world, the Arab world and the whole world". Settling the land so soon after the killings would amount to an endorsement of them. Ben-Gurion failed to respond, though the correspondents sent him copy after copy. Eventually, his secretary replied that he had been too busy to read their letter.^[101]

1951 yilda Kfar Shoul ruhiy salomatlik markazi was built on the village itself, using some of the village's abandoned buildings. Currently, many of the remaining buildings, located within the hospital, are hidden behind the hospital's fence, with entry closely restricted.^[102] In the 1980s, most of the remaining abandoned parts of the village were bulldozed to make way for new neighborhoods, and most of the Deir Yassin cemetery was bulldozed to make way for a highway. Xar Xamenuxot, a Jewish cemetery, lies to the north. To the south is a valley containing part of the Quddus o'rmoni, and on the other side of the valley, a mile and a half away, lie Herzl tog'i and the Holocaust memorial museum, Yad Vashem.^[103] Falastin tarixchisi Valid Xolidiy wrote in 1992:

Tepalikdagi ko'plab qishloq uylari hanuzgacha saqlanib qolgan va ushbu joyda tashkil etilgan ruhiy kasallar uchun Isroil kasalxonasiga kiritilgan. Kasalxona maydonining panjarasidan tashqaridagi ba'zi uylar uy-joy yoki tijorat maqsadlarida yoki ombor sifatida ishlatiladi. Outside the fence, there are karabuak and almond trees and the stumps of olive trees. Saytning janubi-g'arbiy qismida bir nechta quduqlar joylashgan. Qadimgi qishloq qabristoni, joyning janubi-sharqida, qishloq tepaligi atrofida qurilgan halqa yo'lining qoldiqlari beparvo va tahdid ostida. Bitta baland sarv daraxti hali ham qabristonning markazida turibdi.^[104]

Veterans benefits suit

In 1952 a group of four wounded Irgun and Lehi fighters applied to the Israeli Defense Ministry for veterans' benefits. The Ministry rejected their application stating that the Deir Yassin massacre wasn't "military service". But the decision was reversed after the group appealed.^[105][23]

Arxiv yozuvlari

Archival records about the Deir Yassin massacre are believed to exist in sealed Israeli archives from the war. Among them, an eyewitness report from Pa'il and two rolls of photographs taken by the photographer who accompanied him. In 1999, the organization Deir Yassin Remembered asked Prime Minister Ehud Barak to release the records.^[106] 2010 yilda Isroil Oliy sudi rejected a petition by the newspaper Haaretz for the declassification of documents, reports and photographs concerning the Deir Yassin massacre. The court cited the possible damage to Israel's foreign relations and its negotiations with the Palestinians.^[107]
