overview
Remembering the 1948 siege of Deir Yassim, Jerusalem
On April 9, 1948, the small Muslim village of Deir Yassin just outside Jerusalem was attacked by Jewish Israelis, and 100 unarmed civilians were massacred.
With powerful archive footage from the siege itself, we relive the terror that has inspired Palestinian suicide attacks ever since.
