Post 3/5:

Execution:

From Dec ’47 to ’49, ~400-600 villages razed, massacres like Deir Yassin (100+ killed, sparking panic flights), and direct expulsions (e.g., 50,000+ from Lydda/Ramle in a death march).

Psychological tactics—leaflets, shelling—drove out hundreds of thousands.

Total: 750,000 refugees, reshaping the land.

Arab forces fought back, but the scale tipped heavily.
