The Haouch Khemisti massacre took place before dawn on 22 April 1997 in the Algerian village of Haouch Mokhfi Khemisti (also spelled Haouch Boughlef-Khemisti, Haouch Boukhelef-Khemisti, Haouch Boughfi el-Khemisti, or Haouch Khmisti Bougara), some 20 km south of Algiers. 93 villagers were killed in 3 hours. It was followed soon afterwards by the Omaria massacre near Medea.
