In July 1948, during the 1948 Palestine war, the Palestinian towns of Lydda and Ramle were captured by the Israel Defense Forces and their residents were violently expelled. The expulsions occurred as part of the broader 1948 Palestinian expulsions and the Nakba. Hundreds of Palestinians were killed in multiple mass killings, including the Lydda massacre, and in what is sometimes known as the Lydda death march.
