Wow po·grom (p-grm, pgrm)
n.
An organized, often officially encouraged massacre or persecution of a minority group,
especially one conducted against Jews.

Because a pogrom can be carried out against any ethnic group.

The raiding unit's orders were to 'kill maximum adult males'. The raiders penetrated to the centre of Balad al Sheikh, fired into and blew up houses, and pulled out adult males, and shot them. According to the HGS, 'the penetrating units... were forced to deviate from the line agreed upon and in a few cases hit women and children' after being fired upon from inside houses. The Haganah suffered two dead and two injured. Haganah reports put Arab casualties variously at 'about 70 killed', and 21 killed ('including two women and five children') and 41 injured.
