A depopulated Palestinian village located 5 kilometers west of Jerusalem, Deir Yassin was entered by Zionist military organizations on April 9, 1948, and a massacre was perpetrated in which 107 people of all ages and backgrounds were killed.
This massacre became known as the “Deir Yassin Massacre,” an act of extermination and mass expulsion carried out during the 1948 war by the Zionist organizations Irgun and Stern.
Jews settled in the village in 1980, rebuilding it on the ruins of the original buildings and naming its streets after the Irgun fighters who carried out the massacre.
