Great numbers of Christian refugees from the territory adjacent to the northern Palestine-Syria frontier are coming into Palestine following the massacre by the Druzes in the village of Rashaye.
According to reports received here today, the Druzes attacked Rashaye last Wednesday. One hundred Christian inhabitants of the village, including two priests, were killed. Many women and children were burned. All the houses and the two churches were ransacked by the Druzes.
