dec 2, 1915 - Attempted assassination of Yosef Lishansky
Description:
During World War I, Hashomer was violently opposed to NILI, a Jewish spy network working for the British in Ottoman Palestine. Hashomer feared that the Turks would discover the spies and wreak vengeance against the entire Jewishcommunity. When they failed to get NILI to cease operations or to hand over a stash of gold coins they’d received from the British, they made an attempt on the life of Yosef Lishansky, one of its members, managing only to wound him.
Date unspecified, Yosef joined NILI on an unspecified date in December of 1915, therefore I am putting the date as the 2nd of December 1915 as being the earliest possible date.
