This article deals with actions described by critics as terrorist acts by Zionist groups other than the Israeli government.

Pre-statehood Zionist militancy

In the 1930s and 1940s, two Jewish underground organizations, the Irgun and the Stern gang, were responsible for a number of violent acts in their campaign against the British for a Jewish national homeland:

  • During the period 1937-1939, the Irgun conducted a campaign of marketplace bombings and other acts of violence that in total killed hundreds of Arabs.
  • 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.
  • The killings of several suspected collaborators with the Haganah and the British mandate government during The Hunting Season.
  • Attacked British military airfields and railways several times in 1946.
