INFORMATION
1. The outstanding military problem at the moment in Palestine is the
vigorous action of reoel armed bands. Armed bands vary in size from
5 - 70 rifles. ^ They are well led. Tactics are improved and show signs
of military training. Armed bands are mobile; live on the country and
move rapidly from one area to another.
2. Attacks are usually directed against escorts, convoys, patrols,
picquets, billets, camps, aircraft, communications, the civil organiza
tion of the country and Jewish Settlements and interests. Attacks by
fire action and ambush on motor vehicles have been frequent and instances
have occurred where picquets taking up position have been fired on.
Fire directed against aircraft is effective and aircraft have been hit
on many occasions.
3. At first their operations were confined mostly to the hill country
ol the NAELUS-TULKARii—JENIN area but are now becoming more widespread:
particularly in the hills of Galilee close to SAFAD and TIHERIAS.
4. In che hill country of Palestine where movement off roads by ground
forces is restricted, the destruction of armed bands is best achieved by
the action oi tne air striking force working in close co-operation with
a ground striking force in support of ground forces, aircraft or the
organisation on which attacks develop. The policy of bringing
them to action and pressing home the attack once contact is gained is
being pursued with the utmost vigour.
