• Situation: Post-WWII, tensions rise between Jewish militant groups and British forces in Palestine.

• Motivation: Sometimes in retaliation for death sentences on Jewish terrorists.

• Key incident: April 1946 - Six British soldiers murdered in one incident.

🌍 Real-World Analogy: Think of a simmering pot. As the heat increases, it starts to boil over. The growing tensions between the British and Jewish groups were just like that pot.

• Date: 22 July 1946.

• Location: King David Hotel, Jerusalem - the British military HQ in Palestine.

• Security: The place was like Fort Knox! Barbed wire, machine guns, patrolling soldiers. You'd think nothing could get past them.

🏢 Did you know? King David Hotel wasn't just a military base. It was a luxury hotel! Think of the fanciest hotel in your city - now imagine it as the center of a political storm.

• Delivery method: A lorry at the hotel kitchen entrance.

• Disguise: Men dressed as Arabs carrying... milk churns?

• True nature: Those weren't regular milkmen. They were Irgun members and those milk churns? Packed with high explosives.

🥛 Fun Fact: Milk churns are large containers for storing and transporting milk. But that day, they had a more deadly purpose.
