%%Who Were The First Israeli Terrorists%%

The first Israeli terrorists were primarily associated with pre-state Zionist paramilitary organizations that engaged in violent activities during the British Mandate period. The most notable among these were the Irgun (Irgun Zvai Leumi, or Etzel) and Lehi (Lohamei Herut Israel, also known as the Stern Gang). These groups were responsible for a number of attacks against both British and Arab targets in their efforts to establish a Jewish state.

The Irgun, founded in 1931 as a splinter group from the Haganah (the main Jewish defense organization in Mandatory Palestine), adopted a more aggressive and terrorist-oriented strategy under the leadership of Ze'ev Jabotinsky and later Menachem Begin. The Irgun is infamous for operations such as the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946, which housed the British administrative headquarters, and the Deir Yassin massacre in 1948, where over 100 Palestinian Arab villagers, including women and children, were killed during a joint operation with Lehi.

Lehi, formed in 1940 by Avraham Stern, was even more radical and uncompromising in its methods. It carried out assassinations and attacks against British officials and Arab leaders, aiming to drive the British out of Palestine and establish a Jewish state. Lehi's tactics were considered particularly extreme, even by the standards of the time, and the group was widely perceived as a terrorist organization.

These groups' activities were instrumental in undermining British control over Palestine and contributed to the eventual establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. However, their actions were widely condemned, including by prominent Jewish figures such as Hannah Arendt and Albert Einstein, who described the Irgun as a "terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization".

While these groups were disbanded following the establishment of the Israeli state, their legacy and ideologies influenced subsequent political movements in Israel, such as the Herut party, which later evolved into the Likud party.

1948 Arab–Israeli War

The 1948 Arab–Israeli War, also known as the First Arab–Israeli War, followed the civil war in Mandatory Palestine as the second and final stage of the 1948 Palestine war. The civil war became a war of separate states with the Israeli Declaration of Independence on 14 May 1948, the end of the British Mandate for Palestine at midnight, and the entry of a military coalition of Arab states into the territory of Mandatory Palestine the following morning. The war formally ended with the 1949 Armistice Agreements which established the Green Line.

Since the 1917 Balfour Declaration and the 1920 creation of the British Mandate of Palestine, and in the context of Zionism and the mass migration of European Jews to Palestine, there had been tension and conflict between Arabs, Jews, and the British in Palestine. The conflict escalated into a civil war 30 November 1947, the day after the United Nations adopted the Partition Plan for Palestine proposing to divide the territory into an Arab state, a Jewish state, and an internationally administered corpus separatum for the cities of Jerusalem and Bethlehem.

At the end of a campaign beginning April 1948 called Plan Dalet, in which Zionist forces attacked, conquered, and depopulated cities, villages, and territories in Mandatory Palestine in preparation for the establishment of a Jewish state, and just before the expiration of the British Mandate for Palestine, Zionist leaders announced the Israeli Declaration of Independence on 14 May 1948.\[14\] The following morning, Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, and expeditionary forces from Iraq entered Palestine, taking control of the Arab areas and attacking Israeli forces and settlements.\[15\]\[16\]\[17\]\[18\] The 10 months of fighting took place mostly on the territory of the British Mandate and in the Sinai Peninsula and southern Lebanon, interrupted by several truce periods.\[19\]
