The fanatically anti-British Stern gang repeatedly attacks British personnel in Palestine in addition to inviting aid from the Axis powers.
The British police retaliate by killing Stern in his apartment in February 1942; many of the gang's leaders are subsequently arrested, including YTitzhakShamir, who subsequently escapes to play a central part in reorganizing the Sternist Central Committee.
