LEHI

Lehi

Lehi, commonly referred to in English as the Stern Gang, was a militant Zionist group founded by Avraham Stern in the British Mandate of Palestine. Its avowed aim was forcibly evicting the British authorities from Palestine, allowing unrestricted immigration of Jews and the formation of a Jewish state. It was initially called the National Military Organization in Israel, upon being founded in August 1940, but was renamed Lehi one month later.
