Years: 1948 - 1948
September
Lehi extremists murder Bernadotte, together with André-Pierre Serot, a French Air Force colonel and UN observer, on September 17, 1948, following a number of threats against his life, by firing gunshots at point-blank range through the window of his official car.
Yitzhak Shamir, who had returned from France to resume command of the Lehi, is one of those who planned the murder (according to Nahum Barnea and Danny Rubinstein, Davar, March 19, 1982).
Afterward, the Stern Gang, which has always been condemned by moderate leaders of the Jewish community in Palestine, is suppressed, some of its units being incorporated in the Israeli defense forces.
Unlike the Irgun, the Stern Gang leaves no political party to carry on its political programs.
