On July 22, 1946, Jerusalem's King David Hotel—home to the British military headquarters—was rocked by a devastating attack that changed the course of history. Disguised as Arab workers, members of the Jewish underground group, Irgun, planted explosives that reduced the hotel’s southern wing to rubble, killing 91 people, including British officials, soldiers, and civilians. This bombing sent shockwaves through the British government and marked the beginning of the end for British rule in Palestine. Just two years later, the British withdrew, paving the way for the birth and claim for the State of Israel. Explore how this tragic event ignited the final spark that ended British dominance in the region. #KingDavidHotel #BritishRule #PalestineHistory #IsraelIndependence #JewishHistory #BritishEmpire #HistoricEvents
