Description	On April 19th, 1936, the Arab rebellion began with the murder of nine Jews in Jaffa. Soon, the rebellion had spread across the country, and was openly and officially led by the Mufti and his Arab Higher Committee, which had been founded a week after the rebellion had started. The Committee proclaimed a general Arab strike. Jewish colonies, kibbutzim, and quarters in towns became the targets for continuous Arab sniping, bombing and terrorist activities. The British had played right into his hands by removing the leaders of his rival clan, the Nashashibis, from influential positions.
