Saliha

Between 30 October 1948 and 2 November 1948, Saliha was the first of three villages (the others being Safsaf and Jish) in which a massacre was committed by the Seventh Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces of [16] under the command of General Moshe Carmel.[17]

In the case of Saliha, the troops entered the village and blew up a structure, possibly a mosque, killing the 60 to 94 people who had taken refuge inside.[16] These estimates, made by Benny Morris, are based on documentary evidence that include a 6 November 1948 diary entry by Yosef Nahmani, which refers to "'60 - 70' men and women murdered after 'they had raised a white flag'".[18] Also referenced by Morris are handwritten notes taken by Aharon Cohen from the Mapam Political Committee meeting on 1 November 1948 in which Galili, also known as Moshe Erem is recorded stating: "94 in Saliha blown up in a house".[18]

After the assault was over, the remaining inhabitants of the village were expelled,[11] forming part of the Palestinian exodus of 1948.

Yoav Gelber lists Saliha alongside Deir Yassin, Abu Shusha, Sufsuf, and Lydda as forming part of the "Palestinian pantheon of massacres ... villages where Palestinians claimed that atrocities had taken place"
