In March 1947 , the leader of the Arab Forces in Jerusalem , Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni , threatened to blow up the hospital . He did not do so , but attacks were carried out on traffic to and from the hospital . On April 13 , 1948 , an armoured convoy of doctors , nurses , medical students , and other staff made its way to the hospital . The group was ambushed , and 78 people were killed in what became known as the Hadassah medical convoy massacre
