The first recorded terrorist act of the outlawed Jewish self-defense forces based in the labor movement (the Haganah) is the murder of a religious Jew organizing among the largely anti-Zionist native Jewish inhabitants of Palestine.

He is assassinated by two Haganah agents as he leaves the small synagogue in Jerusalem's 'Shaarey Tsedek' hospital in June 1924.

The order for this "special activity" had been given, according to the official Haganah history, "in order to remove the traitor from the land of the living" on the grounds of the "pathological character" of his anti-Zionist activities.

Furthermore, the history reports, the victim was alleged to be a homosexual.
