1983 Tamil Tiger killing of Sri Lankan soldiers

The Thirunelveli massacre happened on July 24, 1983, following the killing of 13 Sri Lanka Army soldiers in an LTTE ambush in Thirunelveli the night before. In response to the ambush, truckloads of Sri Lankan soldiers left the Palaly camp at 4:30 AM, smashing all the shops on the way to Thirunelveli. Over 60 Tamil civilians in Jaffna were subsequently massacred by the rampaging army in revenge.
