Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plan D, also known as Plan Dalet, was the campaign launched by the Haganah (the Jewish paramilitary organization) in April 1948 to undertake the systematic expulsion of Palestinian Arabs living within the area allocated to the Jewish state by means of conquest, permanent occupation, or leveling of Arab villages. The plan involved the takeover of Arab towns and villages, giving the inhabitants the choice of leaving or staying and accepting Jewish control. The expulsion was a central part of the ethnic cleansing that resulted in the displacement of over 700,000 Palestinian Arabs from their homes and the creation of the Palestinian refugee population.
