History
Jerada has been the location of various instances of civil unrest in Morocco.[2]
It was one of the sites of the 1948 Anti-Jewish Riots in Oujda and Jerada.[3] The local Jews had been surrounded by an uncontrollable mob.[4] During this pogrom, thirty-nine Jews were murdered[5][6] and thirty were severely injured.[5][7]
The 2017–2018 Moroccan protests started in Jerada after two brothers died in a tunnel accident when a mine flooded after miners broke through into a well.[8]
