Palestinian refugees fleeing for their lives. (A British intelligence officer stated the following (cited by Benny Morris): “During the morning [the Jews] were continually shooting down on all Arabs who moved both in Wadi Nisnas and the Old City. This included completely indiscriminate and revolting machine gun fire, mortar fire, and sniping on women and children sheltering in churches and attempting to get out... through the gates into the docks... The 40 [Royal Marine Commando] who control the docks... sent the Arabs through in batches but there was considerable congestion outside the East Gate of hysterical and terrified Arab women and children and old people on whom the Jews opened up mercilessly with fire.” )
