nadine ,i am not sure those clippings are representative of what went on.

Lydda and Ramla are not representative of what went on either. They were special cases because they were precisely in the way of the major battle lines during the fighting. Read a history of the Israeli War of Independence, and check the geography.

It's a completely different case from the refugees of Jaffa and Haifa who were not driven out at all, but evacuated themselves in early 1948 in anticipation of the Arab High Command attack.
