Today marks the 66th anniversary of the #KafrQasim massacre, where Israeli border patrol murdered 49 unsuspecting Palestinian villagers on the eve of the 1956 war. 
Kafr Qasim was one of 7 Palestinian villages put under curfew the eve of the war. The curfew was to begin at 6:00 PM, the mayor of Kafr Qasim was informed of the curfew at 5:30 PM.
This was not enough time for the news to reach the villagers, especially the ones in the fields. 49 of them, mostly women and children, were massacred on their way home.
