Done 8 years without a citation is probably long enough for it to be removed. - Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 01:04, 18 December 2025 (UTC)
- I would like to correct that according to my father Herbert Otto Altar, Irgun name Uri, there was no British opposition to Irgun taking Jaffa and Lod under his command but the Haganah under Ben Gurion refused to send his Irgun unit ammunition when it ran out, and that the Irgun shot at everything that moved because the Arabs had engaged in perfidy, advancing under a flag of truce claiming they wanted to negotiate and then opening fire. Also he said the Irgun had very little weapons, not necessarily even mortars, but my only source is my father so I do not know if this will be accepted as a reliable source ~2026-41500-3 (talk) 22:11, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
