<p>Qibya is now a Palestinian village in the Occupied West Bank, located 30 kilometers northwest of Ramallah.</p>
<p>In October 1953 Unit 101, an Israeli commando unit led by Ariel Sharon, the future Prime Minister of Israel, undertook a revenge attack on the village in reaction to the murder of an Israeli woman and her two children by displaced Palestinians who had been raiding and attacking Israeli border communities.</p>
