| 總結: | This article explores one of the Galilee battles that took place during the 1948 War. During the Israeli Operation Hiram' of October 1948 the IDF forces occupied large parts of the central Galilee including the Palestinian Arab village of Jish. Until October 1948 the majority of the population of Jish was Muslim. Today the population is predominantly Maronite Catholic and Melkite Greek Catholic Christians, with a Muslim minority. However, unlike many of the destroyed Palestinian villages in this region, Jish managed to survive the Nakba despite the hard battle of Jish, although many of its Muslim inhabitants were driven out to Lebanon. It is interesting to observe that local Christian leaders successfully coped with a major military operation. The article gives us a new perspective based on original sources on what took place in the Galilee and on the fate of the local Arab (Muslim and Christian) population in this region. |
