Those Younger Arabs, the Ones Left Behind

Younger arab fighters were organized along the lines that kasam had left behind, in small, independent cells without an organized, centralized command structure. They imposed islamic customs, including forcing women to wear veils and killed indiscriminately. In tiberius, rebels killed 19 jews, including 11 children who appear to have been burned alive. By early 19 38, these rebels had forced the british to evacuate jericho and other towns. The situation was such that civil administration of the country was, to all practical purposes, non existent.
