Stern Gang
type: Concept
definition: In the years immediately before and after 1948, the year Israel became an independent nation, Avraham Stern's extremist Jewish nationalist group used terror tactics to fight against British control of Palestine. British detractors called the group the Stern Gang, while members called their organization Lehi, a Hebrew acronym for Lohamei Herut Israel (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel).
