In 1946, the King David Hotel was the headquarters of the British Mandate government, housing much of its intelligence apparatus and top military, intelligence and civilian officials. Several weeks earlier, British authorities had raided the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem and seized a massive amount of secret documents containing sensitive information. The documents were believed to have been brought to the British intelligence offices at the hotel for analysis.
The Irgun Zva’I Leumi (Irgun), led at the time by Menachem Begin, was furious about the British raids. The organization feared that the truth about the Zionists would be revealed when the seized documents were examined... so they decided to blow up the hotel and the documents inside!
