In Clash of Israeli Arabs and Jews, Ripples From 1948

In Israel’s Rising Violence, Ripples From 1948 The town of Lydda posed an early test of how the Israeli state would treat Palestinians. It is a legacy playing out today in violence between Jews and Arabs in Lod, as it’s now known. What was known as Lydda in 1948, the year Israeli forces breached the town and exchanged fire with militiamen. Hundreds of Palestinians, including many civilians, were killed, and nine Israeli soldiers died.Credit.Universal Images Group, via Getty Images Published May 14, 2021Updated May 17, 2021 On the afternoon of July 11, 1948, regiments of the newly formed state of Israel advanced toward the village of Lydda. They would conduct an operation there that, by many accounts, became formative to their new state and to the conflict that has continued ever since, and that echoes in the violence raging this week in that very same town, now known as Lod.

Shlomo Hillel, who helped 120,000 Jews flee Iraq, dies at 97

Shlomo Hillel, a Baghdad-born Israeli operative who in the late 1940s and early 50s used bribes, fake visas and a network of smugglers to move more than 120,000 Jews from Iraq to Israel, died February 8 at his home in Ra anana, Israel. He was 97. His death was confirmed by his son, Ari, who did not specify a cause. Hillel was just 23 when the Haganah, a paramilitary organisation in what was then British-controlled Palestine, sent him undercover to Iraq. Jews had lived there for centuries, mostly in harmony with their neighbours, but growing Arab nationalism and anti-Zionist sentiment, including a 1941 pogrom in which several hundred Jews were killed, were making their situation precarious.
