Local police chief denies Jews in Lod were escorted from their homes

Moshe Bareket, the central district police commander, denies that Jewish families had to be escorted from their homes to safety by police to escape Arab mobs.

“Families were not evacuated from their homes,” he says.

Rather, police were asked to escort several families from a community center, who were concerned about walking the streets, to their destinations.
