এই সন্ত্রাসবাদী ঘটনার মধ্য দিয়ে ইসরায়েল রাষ্ট্রের জন্ম হয়েছিল।
এই ঘটনার পেছনে কারা যুক্ত ছিল? এটা ইসরায়েলী সন্ত্রাসবাদী যুগের ঘটনা। তখনো ওই রাষ্ট্রের জন্ম হয়নি। এই ঘটনার জের ব্রিটিশদের বাধ্য করেছিল ইসরায়েলের স্বাধীনতা দিয়ে চলে যেতে।
হাইফার রেলওয়ে নেটওয়ার্কের সেই আক্রমণের বিবরণ:
On June 17, 1946, the Haifa Railway Workshops in Mandatory Palestine were attacked by the Hagana, the main Jewish paramilitary organization at the time. This attack was part of a larger coordinated sabotage operation called Operation Markolet (also known as the "Night of the Bridges"), which targeted British-controlled infrastructure.
A special unit of Palmach (the elite fighting force of the Hagana) infiltrated the Haifa Railway Workshops.They planted explosives inside the workshop to sabotage British railway operations, which were crucial for military and administrative logistics.The attack was part of a wider campaign to disrupt British control and pressure them to leave Palestine, ultimately aiming for Jewish independence.The explosion caused significant damage to the railway facilities, further crippling British transportation.This act of sabotage was one of many that escalated tensions between Jewish underground groups and British authorities.The attack occurred just days before the British crackdown on Jewish settlements on June 29, 1946, known as "Black Sabbath," where the British arrested thousands of Jewish activists.These events played a role in the eventual British decision to withdraw from Palestine, leading to the establishment of Israel in 1948.
