historical background

: (The Lehi symbol was taken from one of the signs on the site)
Lehi - the acronym for Israel’s Freedom Fighters, was considered the most militant of the three undergrounds. The underground was founded in 1940 by Etzel people who did not agree to cooperate with the British in their war against the Nazis. The underground was founded by Avraham Stern ("Yair") who was murdered by a British detective officer during his arrest .

The Lehi was considered by the British to be a terrorist organization (the Stern gang), and pursued its leaders and soldiers. Many of its soldiers were placed in detention camps in Latrun and Eritrea, and some were even executed by hanging.

The Lehi’s actions were explosions in British centers of government, but also in civilian places (mainly concentrations of Arab residents), assassinations of British government officials and soldiers, attacks on railways, army camps and more.

With the establishment of the state, Lehi units were integrated into the IDF.

Among the Lehi commanders you can find: Avraham Stern ("Yair"), Yitzhak Shamir, Israel Shaiv-Eldad, and more.
