Arab Invasion 1948

 

Arab Invasion-- 1948 The Arabs not only rejected partition, but attacked
 Israel from all sides. On the day that Israel declared its independence, the

He said, "This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre
which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades".
(1) The Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al Husseini stated, "I declare a holy
war, my Moslem brothers! Murder the Jews! Murder them all!"

(2) The armies of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq invaded the tiny
new country with the declared intent of destroying it.(3)

Terror Victim Biography

March 2, 2002 - Mar 2, 2002 - Lidor Ilan, 12, and his sister Oriah 18 months, of Rishon Lezion were two of 10 people killed in a suicide bombing on
Saturday evening near a yeshiva in the ultra-Orthodox Beit Yisrael neighborhood in the center of Jerusalem.

Lidor and Oriah were at the Mahane Israel yeshiva in Jerusalem with their parents, Shimon and Ronit, and sister celebrating a family bar mitzvah - Ronit's nephew. Also attending the bar mitzvah were Ronit's brothers, Shlomo and Ezra Nehmad and their families. When the Sabbath ended, Ronit, and her daughter Linoi (8) went to change their clothes before returning home.

Shimon Ilan said: "My son Lidor was sitting in the car listening to music. I held Oriah in my arms, and went towards the trunk. I called to Lidor to bring me the keys to open the trunk. As he stood next to me and I opened the trunk, the explosion occurred. Oriah flew out of my hands." Both children were killed, along with five members of the Nehmad family.

Lidor and Oriah Ilan were buried side by side in Rishon Lezion. They are survived by their parents and sister.
