During World War II, the British Mandate of Palestine was more affected than other Middle Eastern nations because of its geographic location. Situated along the Mediterranean Sea, Palestine became a destination for refugees fleeing the conflict in Europe, as well as a target for Axis bombing campaigns. This influx of refugees and the proximity to the conflict made the situation in Palestine particularly volatile during the war.
