A struggle developed and three prisoners were taken.
Before their execution one of them, Avshalom Haviv, made this statement
to his captors:
“You tyrants will never understand the spirit of
Lechi men going to their death, with a song springing from their
hearts. And this too you will probably never understand. l, a young
Jew, facing the sentence of death, lift my heart to my God and give
praise and thanks for the privilege of suffering for my people and my
country and say, with all my heart: Blessed art Thou, 0 Lord our God,
King of the Universe, who has kept us alive and maintained us and
enabled us to reach this time.
