”A popular uprising by Palestinian Arabs in Mandatory Palestine against the British administration, later known as the Great Revolt,[a][10] the Great Palestinian Revolt,[b][11] or the Palestinian Revolution,[c] lasted from 1936 until 1939. The movement sought independence from British colonial rule and the end of British support for Zionism, including Jewish immigration and land sales to Jews”

The Haganah (Hebrew for “defence”), a Jewish paramilitary organisation, actively supported British efforts to suppress the uprising, which reached 10,000 Arab fighters at their peak during the summer and fall of 1938. Although the British administration did not officially recognise the Haganah, the British security forces cooperated with it by forming the Jewish Settlement Police, Jewish Supernumerary Police, and Special Night Squads. The Special Night Squads engaged in activities described by colonial administrator Sir Hugh Foot, as ‘extreme and cruel’ involving torture, whipping, abuse and execution of Arabs”

”The British authorities maintained, financed and armed the Jewish police from this point onward until the end of the Mandate,[144] and by the end of September 1939 around 20,000 Jewish policeman, supernumeraries and settlement guards had been authorised to carry arms by the government,[3] which also distributed weapons to outlying Jewish settlements,[145]and allowed the Haganah to acquire arms”
