The surviving Jews fled to the "land of Beirut", not to return until 1533. It has been suggested that the stable financial position of the Hebronite Jews at the time was what attracted the Turkish soldiers to engage in the mass plunder. Others suggest the attack could have in fact taken place in the midst of a localised conflict, an uprising by the Mamluks against the new Ottoman rulers.Alan David Crown The Samaritans https://books.google.com/books?id=pzo6KAH3FmUC&pg=PA114 1989 Mohr Siebeck 978-3-16-145237-6 114 Some Jews tried to defend themselves.Auerbach Jerold S. 10.5771/9780742566170 Hebron Jews 2009 Rowman & Littlefield Publishers 978-0-7425-6617-0 40 Those who survived the calamity fled to Beirut and Jews only returned to Hebron 16 years later in 1533.
