פעולות לח"י ברוממה ובליפתא
ערביי רוממה וערביי ליפתא התנכלו לתחבורה העברית שהגיעה לירושלים או יצאה ממנה. התקפות הערבים גברו לאחר החלטת האו"ם על חלוקת הארץ. ביום ט"ו בטבת תש"ח (28.12.1947) גירשו לוחמי לח"י את התוקפים ובו ביום הכריזו: "רוממה יהודית"!
במהלך חודש שבט תש"ח (ינואר 1948) אילצו לוחמי לח"י את תושבי ליפתא לנטוש את כפרם, ובמקום הקימה מפקדת לח"י את מחנה "אלדד", על שם יוסף יגן "אלדד", שנפל בכיבוש דיר-יאסין.

Lehi’s activities in Romema and Lifta
As soon as the UN approved the partition plan, Arab riots erupted in Romema and Lifta. The Arabs prevented Jewish transportation from reaching Jerusalem. On 28.12.1947, a Lehi unit successfully counterattacked the rioters and declared: "Romema is Jewish". On January 23-29th and on March 5th 1948, Lehi military forces liberated Upper and Lower Lifta, lifting the Arab grip on the road leading to Jerusalem.
