3 MINUTES OF HELL: A MOMENT BY MOMENT ACCOUNT OF THE KING DAVID HOTEL BOMB EXPLOSION & ITS IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH. (JULY 22, 1946)
Today is the anniversary of the infamous King David Hotel Bombing perpetrated by the jewish Irgun terrorist gang, led by future Prime Minister of Israel, Menachem Begin. The “bomb” was 350 kg of TNT packed into 7 large milk canisters.
To remember this occasion, I’m posting the chapter of the book “By Blood & Fire,” that chronicles the exact moments of the bombing in excrutiating blow-by-blow detail. It’s Chapter 25, titled “12:27 PM – 12:40 PM.”
The human cost was enormous and grisly. You’ve been warned. It reminds me of 9/11 and also the horror the Gazans face every single day.
