15 abr 1936 año - 1936 Tulkarm shooting

Descripción:

On the evening of 15 April 1936, a group of Arabs believed to be followers of Izz al-Din al-Qassam near Anabta constructed a roadblock on the road between Nablus and Tulkarm, stopping about 20 vehicles moving along that road, and demanding arms and cash from the drivers. The Arabs separated two Jewish drivers and one passenger (Israel Hazan) from the others and shot them. Two of the shooting victims died; one survived.[3][4][5] The Arabs told their victims that they were gathering the money and munitions to carry on the work of the "Holy Martyrs" who had worked with Izz ad-Din al-Qassam (then recently killed) with the goal of killing "all Jews and Britons in Palestine."[6]

One of the other drivers in the convoy was left unharmed when he shouted "I am a Christian German," and was told to "Go ahead for Hitler's sake."[6]

One of the two dead, Zvi Danenberg, was driving a truckload of crated chickens to Tel Aviv.[3] Danenberg survived for five days before dying of his wounds. The other, Yisrael Hazan, aged 70, died immediately after being shot; he had recently immigrated to Palestine from Salonika.[3][7] He is buried in the Trumpeldor Cemetery.[8]
