What Is Catastrophe Rits It?

During the fighting in 19 forty eight, the hagana executed a strategy aimed at depopulating palestinian population centers. The goals of plan dallet were to take the northern border, control the entire coast and clear out palestinian towns and cities between jerusalem and jaffa on the coast. In the violence of plandallet, an estimated 15 thousand palestinians were killed. 418 towns and villages were ethnically cleansed off the map. Seven to 800 thousands palestinarians were displaced. At the end of it, 78 % of palestinian land was under israeli control - which is a loss of about four point three million acres.
