Village Named
Transcribed from the clipping
The two officers and seven enlisted men are accused of shooting the Arabs at the village of Kfar Kassem when the villagers, men, women and children, were found outside their homes in violation of an all-night curfew. The incident occurred immediately after Israel launched its Sinai campaign but was not disclosed officially until Dec. 12.
Context added by this archive
The suppression stated plainly in the paper’s own words: the killings were 29 October, the official disclosure 12 December.
