The Haganah's activities in Palestine have been moderate throughout the war, in accord with the organized Jewish community's policy of havlaga ("self-restraint").
By contrast, the Irgun and the Stern Gang, which finds even the Irgun too mild, turn against the British occupation in 1944 despite vehement opposition from Chaim Weizmann and others promoting the Jewish cause overseas.
Under Menachem Begin's leadership, the Irgun and the Stern Gang embark on widespread attacks on the British.
The Stern Gang attacks airfields, railway yards, and other strategic installations, usually with success, though at heavy loss in members killed or captured.
