The Tiberias massacre took place on October 2, 1938 during the 1936?1939 Arab revolt in Palestine, in the city of Tiberias, then under the control of the British Mandate of Palestine and today part of the State of Israel.

Arab rioters killed twenty Jews in Tiberias after infiltrating the Kiryat Shmuel settlement.^[1]

The British mandate reported that: "It was systematically organized and savagely executed. Of the nineteen Jews killed, including women and children, all save four were stabbed to death. That night and the following day the troops engaged the raiding gangs".^[2]

After the massacre, the Irgun wanted to make a joint retaliatory operation with Haganah to deter such events, but Haganah did not agree.^[3]
