Bevin responds with a crackdown on the Haganah and arrests many of its leaders, including Moshe Sharett, head of the Political Department of the Jewish Agency.

Goldie Myerson (not yet Golda Meir) provisionally replaces him and works for the release of her comrades and the many Jewish war refugees who had violated British immigration regulations by settling in Palestine.

While the British concentrate their efforts on the Haganah, the Irgun and Lehi carry out terrorist attacks against British forces.
