This is a list of massacres committed during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Massacre here means any event in which many civilian lives were lost.

The information about massacres of Arabs has been researched extensively by Benny Morris, see [1] (http://www.logosjournal.com/morris.htm). Information about massacres of Jews comes from other sources.

Note: In many cases the actual number of killed is very uncertain, and many of the facts are disputed. Details will appear on the page devoted to each incident.
