 |
TNA WO 261/571 The British, tipped off to the location of the Lehi compound, "burst in and “took the ‘thugs’ completely by surprise” despite heavily armed sentries in a nearby orange grove. Lehi “men and girls jumped from the windows and doors”, attacking with a variety of firearms, grenades, and bombs, but were overpowered. Among the Lehi trainees were “children of tender years”, some of whom died in the battle. See: State of Terror, 231 |
