Captain Orde Wingate, while serving as a British intelligence officer during the Palestinian rebellion, British officer, has organized night patrols to repel Arab raids on Jewish communities along the Mosul-Haifa oil pipeline, successfully testing his "penetration" method of light infantry operations against the enemy's rear.

Moshe Dayan, born on Israel's first kibbutz and raised on the country's first successful cooperative farm settlement (moshav), Nahalal, began his military career in 1937, when he learned guerrilla warfare from Wingate in the special night squadrons.

These were organized to fight Arab rebel bands in Palestine, and they form the nucleus of a Jewish army.

Convinced that the Jews will have to fight for their independence, Dayan joins the Haganah and in 1939 is arrested and imprisoned by British authorities.
