From the Wikipedia entry "The Deir Yassin Massacre":
The Deir Yassin massacre took place on April 9, 1948, when around 120 fighters from [Israeli/Jewish] paramilitary groups ... attacked Deir Yassin, a Palestinian-Arab village of roughly 600 people near Jerusalem... during the civil war that preceded the end of British rule in Palestine.
Around 107 villagers were killed during and after the battle for the village, including women and children...."
