October 2, 1938 Arab Murder, Mayhem, and Massacre

“ARABS BROKE INTO TIBERIAS TOWN ONE NIGHT AND MASSACRED A NUMBER OF JEWISH WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN CIRCUMSTANCE OF GREAT BRUTALITY… IT TOOK US TWO HOURS TO GET TO TIBERIAS, INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES, AND WE FOUND MATTERS THERE IN A MESS. The district office, a synagogue, and several Jewish dwelling-houses were in flames, the streets were littered with dead but the attackers had withdrawn. ”
