Masakr u Ed-Davajimi počinile su Izraelske odbrambene snage u palestinskom gradu Ed-Davajimi 29. oktobra 1948, tokom arapsko-izraelskog rata 1948. godine. Civile je ubio 89. bataljon komandosa IDF-a tokom operacije Yoav, nakon što su zauzeli selo bez otpora.

Broj ubijenih je opisan kao "nevelik" od strane komandanta Jordanske arapske legije, John Bagot Glubb, pozivajući se na izveštaj UN o cifri koja uključuje 30 žena i djece u svojim memoarima iz 1957.^[1] Seoski muhtar je opisao broj ubijenih kao "nevelik". Hassan Mahmoud Ihdeib je u izjavi pod zakletvom procijenio broj žrtava na 145.^[2] U naknadnom izvještaju koji je Ujedinjenim nacijama dostavila delegacija iz Kongresa arapskih izbjeglica izvještava se da je arapskoj legiji bilo u interesu potcjenjivati razmjere masakra, kako bi izbjegla daljnju paniku i bijeg izbjeglica, te ga je opisala kao gori od Masakra u Deir Jasinu.^[3]

Izraelski historičar Benny Morris 2004. je procijenio da je ubijeno na stotine civila. Uprkos tome što je izraelski komandant priznao masakr, niko nikada nije procesuiran niti kažnjen.^[4]

It would be an exaggeration to claim that great numbers were massacred. But just enough were killed, or roughly handled, to make sure that all the civilian population took flight, thereby leaving more and more land vacant for future Jewish settlement. These particular villages west of Hebron were to remain vacant and their lands uncultivated for eight years.
