[1] During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, around 40–200 Palestinian Arab villagers from Tantura were killed in a massacre perpetrated by the Alexandroni Brigade, which at the time was one of six field forces of the Haganah.

[2] The massacre, which took place on the night of 22–23 May 1948, occurred following the surrender of Tantura, a village of roughly 1,500 people in 1945 located near Haifa.

The bodies of the victims were buried in mass graves, one of which was later covered and a carpark constructed above it.

[5] In 2023, an Israeli documentary was published on the Tantura massacre, which interviewed and filmed Katz, as well as several veterans, who agreed to talk about the events.

[6] The movie was harshly criticized by the historian Benny Morris, who characterized the documentary as "basically fraudulent".
