What is believed to be the workshop of the Haganah in Tel Aviv was today discovered by the police as the result of an anonymous telephoned tip. It is assumed that the information came from Jewish extremists in reprisal for Haganah’s foiling their attempt to blow up Citrus House, British military headquarters here.
Acting on the mysterious phone call, police broke into a locked house on Hagalil Street, in the vicinity of Citrus House, where they discovered a workshop fitted out with lathes, and occupying three floors. Two men fled over the roof-tops when the police amashed their way in. In the cellar the raiders found parts of automatic weapons.
