Zionist military organization in Palestine.
It originated under the Turkish rule of the
Ottoman Empire before World War I to protect
Jewish settlements, and many of its members
served in the British forces in both world
wars. After World War II it condemned
guerrilla activity, opposing the British
authorities only passively. It formed the
basis of the Israeli army after Israel was
established in 1948.
