The King David Hotel bombing
was an attack carried out on
Monday July 22, 1946 by the
militant right-wing Zionist
underground organization, the
Irgun, on the British
administrative headquarters
for Palestine, which was
housed in the southern wing
[1] of the King David Hotel in
Jerusalem.[2][3][4] 91 people
of various nationalities were
killed and 46 were injured.[5]
The hotel was the site of the
central offices of the British
Mandatory authorities of
Palestine, principally the
Secretariat of the Government
of Palestine and the
Headquarters of the British
Forces in Palestine and
Transjordan.[5][6] The attack
initially had the approval of the
Haganah (the principal Jewish
paramilitary group in Palestine).
It was conceived as a response
to Operation Agatha (a series
of widespread raids, including
one on the Jewish Agency,
conducted by the British
authorities in the British
Mandate of Palestine) and was
the deadliest directed at the
British during the Mandate era
(19201948).[5][6] The
explosion caused more
casualties than any subsequent
bombing carried out in the
Arab-Israeli conflict.[7]
The Irgun planted a bomb in
the basement of the main
building of the hotel, whose
southern wing[8] housed the
Mandate Secretariat and a few
offices of the British military
headquarters. Warnings were
sent by telephone, including
one to the hotel's own
switchboard, which the hotel
staff decided to ignore, but
none directly to the British
authorities.[6] A possible
reason why the warning was
ignored was that hoax bomb
warnings were rife at the time.
[6] From the fact that a bomb
search had already been
carried out, it appears that a
hoax call or tip-off had been
received at the hotel earlier that
day.[5] Subsequent telephone
calls from a concerned
Palestine Post staff member
and the police caused
increasing alarm, and the hotel
manager was notified. In the
closing minutes before the
explosion, he called an
unknown British officer, but no
evacuation was ordered.[6] The
ensuing explosion caused the
collapse of the western half of
the southern wing of the hotel.
[6] Some of the inflicted deaths
and injuries occurred in the
road outside the hotel and in
adjacent buildings.[6]
Controversy has arisen over the
timing and adequacy of the
warnings and the reasons why
the hotel was not evacuated.[6]

The Irgun has been viewed as
a terrorist organization or
organization which carried out
terrorist acts.[9][10] In
particular the Irgun was
branded a terrorist
organisation by Britain[11] and
the Jewish Agency.[12]
The Irgun committed the attack
in response to Operation
Agatha, known in Israel as
"Black Saturday".[13] British
troops had searched the
Jewish Agency on June 29 and
confiscated large quantities of
documents which contained
incriminating information
about the Agency's involvement
with violent acts. The
intelligence information was
taken to the King David Hotel,
[14] where it was initially kept
in the offices of the Secretariat
in the southern wing. In order
to destroy the documentation,
the Irgun therefore determined
to destroy that wing of the
hotel.
