Eliyahu Tamler[1] (or Temler[2] Template:Lang-he, August 25 1919 – April 29 1948) was an Irgun senior commander, who fought in the 1947–1948 civil war in Mandatory Palestine.
Biography
Eliyahu Tamler was born in 1919 in Zastavna, Kingdom of Romania (in present-day Ukraine), as Eduard Samuel Tamler, to Abraham and Sabina Tamler.[3] His father died when he was 13 years old.[2] He studied at a school in his hometown and at a gymnasium in the neighboring city of Cernăuți. His father was a Zionist activist. Eliyahu enroled at the University of Cernăuți, but didn't graduate.[4]
In 1939, he immigrated to Israel as an immigrant on the ship Parita, which sailed from the port of Constanța on July 12, carrying 857 Beitar activists, and after 42 days it arrived at the Tel Aviv coast. Upon his arrival, Tamler joined the Beitar groups operating in Israel and later in the Irgun underground and was active in its ranks. In 1942, he was arrested by the British in Haifa and sent to a detention camp near Mizra, from where he was released in March 1943. After his release, he was appointed commander of the Irgun's operational activity in the Petah Tikva District and later in Tel Aviv District. As part of this role, he planned and carried out a large number of actions against the British authorities, such as the confiscation of an explosive truck en route to the Migdal Tzedek quarries, the explosion of communication pillars in the Petach Tikva area (1945), the confiscation of weapons from the British Army's warehouses in Sarafand,[5] the attack on Immigration and Customs Offices in Haifa (February 12, 1944), the explosion of Oil Lines (May 1945), the confiscation of explosives from the Solel Boneh Company warehouses (August 1945), the attack on the Haifa Police (September 29, 1945) and the attack on the Lydda Railway Station during the Night of the Trains (1 November 1945).
On April 2, 1946, he was caught by the British carrying a weapon, sentenced to seven years in prison and imprisoned in the central prison in Jerusalem.[6] On February 20, 1948, together with 11 other Irgun and Lehi prisoners, he managed to dig a tunnel and escape from prison. After his escape, he was appointed to a central role in the Irgun's national headquarters.
On April 29, 1948, Tamler was one of the Etzel commanders of the battle of Jaffa. During this operation, he was hit by a British bombshell and killed.[2] Menachem Begin, who knew him closely, praised him, saying that "Eliyahu is gone - there was was nobody better in the organization than him".[7][8] He was buried in the Nahalat Yitzchak cemetery.
