Bayt Daras was targeted to be surrounded, to have the villagers surrender and hand over their arms, and if this order was resisted, it was to be mortared, stormed and 'dealt with in the manner of scorched earth'.
The plan was to encircle Bayt Daras, forcing the inhabitants to surrender and relinquish their arms. If they refused, the settlement would be bombarded, stormed, and its population would face severe consequences.
