Mass killings and rapes by the Egyptian troops took place in Hebron after they captured the city from the rebels.[14] About 500 rebels and inhabitants were killed, and 750 Muslim men were taken as conscripts.[15] Another 120 adolescents were taken by Egyptian officers "to do with as they wanted", according to historian Baruch Kimmerling.[14] The Jews of Hebron had not participated in the rebellion, but Egyptian soldiers who entered the city ignored this.[13] For three hours, troops committed atrocities against the people of Hebron.[16] The Jews were not subject to Pasha's conscription policy but suffered the "most cruel outrages"[17] and were targeted for "special violence".[18] While many Muslims managed to escape the impending danger, the Jews remained, confident they would not be harmed by the Egyptians. Apparently, the Jews of Jerusalem had received an assurance from Ibrahim that Hebron's Jews would be protected.[19] In the end, seven Jewish men[16][20][21] and five girls[10][16] were killed. Isaac Farhi also described violent attacks on the Jews of Hebron committed by Egyptian soldiers.[22] He writes that the attack in Hebron was even worse than the plunder in Safed.
