The #Palmach Third Battalion again attacked the #Palestinian village of #alHusayniyya near #Safad on #ThisDayInHistory in 1948. A total of 45, mostly unarmed people were killed in these attacks, with the survivors fleeing. To-day only stone piles from demolished houses remain.
During the #Nakba/#1948War, #Zionist special forces unit #Palmach twice attacked the #Palestinian village #alHusayniyya, the first on #ThisDayInHistory in 1948. An Iraqi volunteer unit helped to defend the village but 15 Palestinians were killed in fighting throughout the night.
In apparent revenge for the #ConvoyOf35 (a #Palestinian attack on a military convoy), #Zionist special forces unit #Palmach committed the #SasaMassacre at Sa'sa' (سعسع) near #Safed/#Tzfat on #ThisDayInHistory in 1948, killing 60-80 civilians in their homes with no resistance.
British-Jewish hairstylist #VidalSassoon was born #ThisDayInHistory in 1928. After #WWII he joined the militant #antifascist #43Group, fighting (with scissors) to stop #OswaldMosley's #fascists from regaining support. Sadly, he also fought with #Palmach in Palestine's #1948War.
