Three underground Hebrew broadsides issued by the Haganah Organization. Haifa District, [1948].
1. "HaChomah, matters of security and defense", a broadside calling the Jews of Haifa not "to disturb the protectors while they are doing their duty by gathering, obstructing traffic and spreading frightening rumors" and not to leave their houses without an authorized order.
2. "HaChomah, matters of security and defense", a broadside with updates on the course of the battles after the British had left Haifa – the progress of the forces, gaining control of key positions, transport routes and action bases, the attack on Tira, and more.
3. "To all units of the Haganah in the area of the Carmel", a broadside issued by the commander of the Haganah in the Haifa District. Haifa: "Omanut" Press, 23.4.1948.
The broadside congratulates the fighters of the Haganah on their success in conquering Haifa and asks them to prepare themselves for additional battles in the Haifa district and elsewhere.
Approx. 22x34cm to 32x47cm. Condition varies.
