4 days later, 78 Jewish doctors, nurses, students, patients, faculty members and Haganah fighters, and one British soldier were killed in what is known as the Hadassah medical convoy massacre. Arab shouts of "Minshan Deir Yassin" ("For Deir Yassin") could he heard.
A month later, 127–157 Jews killed in Kfar Etzion which suffered an earlier massacre in January bringing the death toll to 240.
According to the Arab Legion version, the Jordanian soldiers arrived too late to impede the massacre by villagers who were keen to avenge Deir Yassin.

The point being is that discussing the events of 1947-1949 with zero historical context, nor a detailed recollection of ALL events that took place during the years prior, and the war. It is meant to drive a one sided political narrative that is purely revisionist.
