Men of the Arab village of Yehiday…

December 1947 CE

Men of the Arab village of Yehiday (near the Zionist colony of Petah Tiqwa) meet at the local coffee house when what appears to be a four-car British Army patrol enters the village on December 14, 1947.

After the cars stop in front of the coffee house, men dressed in khaki uniforms and steel helmets step out and spray the crowd with machine-gun fire and toss grenades.

The arrival of a real British patrol limits the Arab death toll to seven civilians.
