British Mandatory authorities[1] and other contemporary sources dated the 1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine to 15 April,[2][3][4][5] the date of the Anabta shooting in which Arab followers of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam set up a roadblock on the Nablus to Tulkarm road, stopping about 20 vehicles to demand cash and weapons; separating out 3 Jews from other occupants of the vehicles. The Arabs then shot the 3 Jewish men; only 1 survived.[6][7] The two killed Jewish drivers were Israel (or Yisrael) Khazan, who was killed instantly, and Zvi Dannenberg, who died five days later.[8][9] The following day members of Irgun shot and killed two Arab workers sleeping in a hut near Petah Tikva.[10] On 17 April, the funeral for Khazan was held in Tel Aviv, attracting a crowd of thousands, some of whom beat Arab passersby and vandalized property.[11]
