Haifa Oil Refinery massacre
The Haifa Oil Refinery Massacre occurred on December 30 1947 at the oil refinery complex in Haifa, during a period of skirmishes between Jews and Arabs in Palestine following the 1947 UN Partition Plan, although the Haifa oil refinery was well known for the peace in which Jew and Arab worked together. The massacre was triggered by the explosions of two bombs hurled into a crowd of Arab workers from a passing vehicle by Etzel (Irgun) militants, killing 6 workers and wounding 42.
