The Nakba destroyed 530 villages and displaced 80 percent of Palestinians.

Evidence

During the Nakba, which lasted seven months, more than 530 villages were destroyed, over fifteen thousand civilians were killed, and 80 percent of the Palestinian population became refugees. Palestine was reduced to less than a quarter of the territory of Mandate Palestine, now only including the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. — Clara E. Mattei, Escape from Capitalism, 313
