The Haganah Monument The Haganah was founded in 1920 and in 1948 became part of the IDF.
From a day order for the establishment of the ’Israel Defense Forces’: "With the establishment of the State of Israel, the Haganah went underground and became a regular army.
Enormous and indebted is the debt that the Yishuv and the Jewish people owe to Haganah at all stages of its existence and development ...
... Without the experience, planning, ability to act and command, loyalty and heroism of the Haganah, the settlement would not have stood the terrible blood test that came upon it during these six months, and we would not have reached the State of Israel. "
