The fighting between Arabs and Jews in Tiberias continued from December 1947 until February. However, on March 14, 1948, the battles ceased following the announcement of a truce between the two sides. Nonetheless, the Jews violated the truce a month later. On April 16, the Haganah commenced its attack on Tiberias. The British military intervened this time, declaring another three-day truce. On the third day, the British officer in charge of the area convinced the Arab defenders to leave Tiberias, citing an inability to protect them from Zionist gang attacks. The British military used transportation means to evacuate all Arab inhabitants from the city.
