Wanted to double check the timeline of the bombing . . . didn't know this:
"The King David Hotel was the site of the British military command and the British Criminal Investigation Division (CID). The Irgun chose it as a target after British troops invaded the Jewish Agency on June 29, 1946 ("Black Sabbath"), and confiscated large quantities of documents. At about the same time, more than 2,500 Jews from all over Palestine were placed under arrest. The information about Jewish Agency operations, including intelligence activities in Arab countries, was taken to the King David Hotel."

An extension of anti-semitism in Europe - in Britain even during WWII!? Or maybe after 20 years of the Haganah (Jewish Liberation/Resistance Army) creating disturbances there was reason to investigate?

..."On Thursday, a video emerged of men rounded up, forced to stand in formation, and then to sit down in the street, wearing nothing more than underwear while soldiers with guns watched over them.

When asked by ABC News about the images and video, IDF responded saying “During combat in ​​Shejaiya, Jabalya and Khan Yunis, IDF troops apprehended hundreds of terror suspects.”

Hamas also released a statement regarding the images circulating online, saying the unarmed civilians pictured, were not a part of the ‘resistance.’"...

Some of the folks in Gaza have said the men arrested are ordinary people, not Hamas resistance fighters. A different video from a Gazan with people lined up horizontally in one line says they were shot. It looked like either several women were also rounded up (or else some of the those identified as men are trans who have been taking hormones).
A young Israeli woman reported yesterday that sea water has already been pumped into tunnels.

This reminds me - the tunnels under Al-Shifa are reputed to have been left by the British . . . don't know if WWI or WWII before the King David Hotel bombing. Maybe Haganah tunnels. There were some British soldiers embedded with the Haganah.
