Lehi Forest - Fighters for the Freedom of Israel Fighters for the Freedom of Israel - a liberation movement that fought underground for the freedom of Israel in the Land of Israel in the years 1940-1948
The instigator and founder of the movement was Avraham Stern - "Yair", who was the first to declare war on the British foreign rule in the Land of Israel and worked to establish a Jewish state in its entire territory.
On the 25th of Shvat 5702 - February 12, 1942, "Yair" was murdered in cold blood by agents of the British Secret Service.
The main struggle of the Lehi underground was focused on attacks on the centers of British government in the country, army and police headquarters, army bases and camps of all kinds. Transportation and communication routes as well as key figures and their envoys, who led the campaigns of oppression against the Jewish population in the Land of Israel
Lehi fighters waged a constant and determined war against the British with heroism, dedication and supreme sacrifice.
In this daring war, many fighters were killed, wounded or captured. Some were imprisoned in prisons and detention camps in the country and in Africa. Dozens of Lehi members were sentenced to death and their sentences were commuted to life imprisonment.
Three fighters were put to the gallows.
As a result of pressure from the Hebrew undergrounds, the British government decided in the summer of 1958 to evacuate its forces from the Land of Israel.
On 2nd Iyar 5708 - May 15, 1948, the establishment of the State of Israel was declared With the establishment of the state, members of Lehi enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces and continued their fight for Israels independence within its framework.
