What Happened?
British Government Communique No. 56 (23 April 1946): The Ramat Gan Police was attacked by 20-30 Jewish terrorists (dressed in Arab & British uniforms). The attackers blew up culverts on the main roads leading to the station and drove in a three-ton military truck to store the stolen weapons. Multiple blasts were heard in the vicinity.
The raid killed an Arab constable. A British policeman and two Arab supernumeraries were injured.
This raid was a diversion to a more significant terror attack on passenger trains on the Cairo-Haifa Railway on the same day.
