In 5594 (1834), Hebron met with a heavy calamity, since it was taken by storm on the 28th day of Tamuz (July), by Abraim Pacha, and given up to his soldiers for several days. One can better imagine than describe the scenes which were then enacted. Nearly all the Mahomedan inhabitants fled into the depth of the mountain range, but the Jews could not do this; besides which, they entertained but little fear, since they could not be viewed as rebels and enemies by Abraim, wherefore they fell an easy prey into the hands of the assailants. When the Pacha marched out to take Hebron, a petition was presented to him by the officers of the Jewish congregation in Jerusalem to take these unfortunate people under his protection, which he faithfully promised to do; but, notwithstanding this, they were not spared at the taking of the town, so that five Jews were purposely murdered, and all their property which had not. been buried under ground was either stolen or destroyed in the most wanton and cruel manner. Abraim did then indeed place a guard around their quarter of the town, but it was too late; and he said, "Whatever is already in the hands of the conquerors, the soldiers, cannot be demanded back again of them;" wherefore the whole Jewish community was sunk into poverty.(A descriptive geography and brief historical sketch of Palestine By Joseph Schwarz, Translated by Isaac Leeser Publisher A. Hart, 1850 , pp. 399-400)
I'm not sure what language that title is in, but I'm pretty sure it's not English.
I'm not criticizing the content of the article-- it is important to remember the history of Arab savagery toward the Jews of Israel-- but there is something seriously garbled in that title.
Your attention is appreciated.

Hevron? I read in the media that there never were Jews in Hevron other than rabid settlers who arrived in the last few decades. Nice to see something factual about the multi millenial long inhabitation of Hevron by Jews (save the couple of decades under Jordan), even if it is a story of Islamic terror. More than a millenia of that history out there too.
In Joan Peters’ Since Time Immemorial, there is a whole list of dates on which Jews were massacred in Hebron. I don’t remember it all, but it included 1841 (Damascus Blood Libel) and 1771 (local Hebron blood libel). Why just one massacre? History is full of them. Of course, they were all protesting the occupation.
It has been a while since I read that “best historic book on the middle east” [From Time Immemorial] will look at it again, thanks for reminding on such cases/dates not so well known.
Valid point, in fact Hevron/Hebron is one of Jews’ 4 holy-cities.
It’s Aramaic ...
