Click for a larger image On Thursday, May 14, 1948, the establishment of the State of Israel was announced. The next day, Arab armies invaded it.
The IDF was then in the process of being established, and the "Hagana" Irgun and Lehi underground were still operating in Israel.
During the fighting, the Haganahs representatives turned to the Irgun headquarters and asked them to attack the Arab forces in Ramla, thereby diverting them from the battle zones.
About eight hundred Irgun soldiers took part in the campaign, which lasted from May 6 to June 11. During which 51 Irgun fighters fell.
The fighting on the fronts of Ramla and Latrun helped break through and lift the siege on Jerusalem.
