April 1948 CE

The Arabs of Tiberias had cut the main road linking the Jewish settlements of Upper Galilee with those of the Jordan Valley early in 1948, and have besieged the ancient Jewish quarter on the lakeshore within the walled city.

Accordingly, the Haganah launches a successful attack on the Arab section, taking it on April 18, 1948.

The Arab population is evacuated by British troops at its own request.

Tiberias is the first mixed (Arab-Jewish) city to be taken by the Haganah.
