Özet

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi terrorist organizations in the establishment of Israel from 1920 to 1948 by applying constructivist theory. The contribution of these terrorist organizations to the formation process of the State of Israel is multifaceted. They undertook important tasks in weakening the British mandate, taking precautions and retaliation against Arab attacks, protecting Jewish settlements, and creating a suitable environment for immigration. In particular, radical terrorist activities organized by the Irgun and Lehi terrorist organizations furthered and deepened the process of establishing Israel. The results of the actions carried out by Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi terrorist organizations weakened the British mandate, created a military infrastructure for the war of independence, and provided material and nonmaterial support for the establishment of the State of Israel. The security policies and types of violence implemented by the terrorist organizations during the construction of the State of Israel are closely related to security and terrorism activities. This study hypothesizes that the roles played by the Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi terrorist organizations in the establishment of Israel were one of the main driving forces that shaped the fundamental elements, such as military infrastructure, ideological orientation, and political transformation, and significantly accelerated the establishment process of the State of Israel.
