An early pilot · A community project
QADIYA is an independent, noncommercial community project: an archive of Palestine’s history, built for the cause and open to everyone.
This is an early pilot. Its records were gathered with AI help from cited sources and are still being checked, so don’t rely on them yet, and tell us if something is wrong.
We’re looking for people and organisations to build it with us: historians, archivists, translators, designers, developers, and partners who can support the work.

In resolution 573 of 4 October 1985 the Security Council noted with concern that the Israeli air raid of 1 October 1985 on the area of Hammam Chott, in the southern suburbs of Tunis, had caused heavy loss of human life and extensive material damage, and that the Israeli government had claimed responsibility for it. It condemned vigorously the act of armed aggression against Tunisian territory and considered that Tunisia had the right to reparations.12
