In an explosion that was planned after the British took control of Etzel immigration ship (Af-Al-Pi), 11 people were killed.

The British detective headquarters was blown up by a barrel bomb that was rolled over a truck over the pedestrian fence that blocked access to the building.

The operation was carried out by the Etzel.
