  • The King David Hotel bombing on July 26, 1946, killing 91.
  • The bombing of the British Embassy in Rome, also in 1946.
  • Lehi assassinated British minister Lord Moyne in Cairo in 1944.
  • Lehi assassinated the UN mediator Count Bernadotte in September 1948 for his allegedly pro-Arabic conduct during the cease-fire negotiations.
  • The 1947 killing of two British sergeants who had been taken prisoner in response to British refusal to cancel the death sentence for two Jewish activists in Akko prison.
