Stern Gang

A Dictionary of World History | 2000 | Copyright

Stern Gang British name for a ZIONIST terrorist group calling itself “Lohamei Herut Israel Lehi” (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel). It campaigned actively (1940–48) in British-administered Palestine for the creation of a Jewish state. Founded by Abraham Stern (1907–42), the Stern Gang numbered no more than a few hundred. They operated in small groups and concentrated on the assassination of government officials. Their victims included Lord Moyne, the British Minister for the Middle East (1944), and Count BERNADOTTE, the United Nations mediator in Palestine (1948).
