⭕️ Israel has ordered the eviction of more than 70 Palestinian families in the city of Lydd (Lod) in Israel, according to Wafa. Israeli authorities justified the orders under the pretext of “seizing state lands.”
The city is famous in Palestinian history for being an ancient, thriving urban and commercial hub, including a vital aviation center, and the site of the 1948 Lydd death march and expulsions during the Nakba.
Under the British Mandate, it was also one of the most key railway junctions in the Middle East, connecting Jaffa, Jerusalem, and Cairo. The 1947 UN Partition Plan designated Lydd and neighboring Ramle to be part of a Palestinian state. But in July 1948, Israeli forces captured the city, and killed hundreds of Palestinian residents during the takeover, including inside local mosques. Israelis then forcibly expelled an estimated 70,000 residents and refugees.
Ordered to leave on foot within half an hour, the displaced population was driven toward Ramallah along a grueling route. Dehydration, exhaustion, and heat caused hundreds of deaths along what is historically referred to by Palestinians as the Lydd Death March.
