During their rampage in [[Safed]] that lasted 33 days, the Arabs murdered over 500 Jews, seriously wounded hundreds more and destroyed many homes, [[Safed-Hotels|synagogues]] and businesses. Most residents fled penniless to Ein Zetim and other nearby villages. Eventually Ibrahim Pasha sent a contingent of Lebanese Druze who squelched the revolt. A number of the Arab leaders were arrested and hung but the Jews hardly received compensation for all their damaged and stolen property. |
