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]

University Press of Florida. p. 163.: "...the riots that broke out on 7 June 1948 in the cities of Oujda and Jerada, close to the border between Morocco and Algeria, which served as a transfer station for Moroccan Jews on their way to Israel... It is believed that the riots were brought on by the speech given a short while earlier by Sultan Muḥammad Ben-Yussuf, which inveighed against the Zionists and cried for solidarity with the Arabs fighting in Israel. Claims have been made that the French authorities not only knew about these impending events but also goaded and collaborated with the instigators as a provocation against the heads of the Moroccan Independence Party, who could later be blamed for committing murder."
