Ironically, the Arab reports backfired in one respect: frightened Palestinian Arabs did not surrender, but did not fight either – they fled, allowing Israel to gain much territory with little fighting and also without absorbing many Arabs.
讽刺的是，阿拉伯方的报告在一个方面起到了反作用：受惊于这次事件的巴勒斯坦阿拉伯人并没有投降，但也没有战斗——他们逃离了巴勒斯坦，使以色列在不需作战也不需吸收很多阿拉伯人的情况下获取很多领土。
