He was in 1936 captured by Gestapo and sat three years in prison after which he emigrated to Palestine. He was Haganah's link to the Jewish undergrounds, Irgun and Lehi, and helped them coordinate many missions with the Haganah. Among them the attack at Deir Yassin. He was also the mastermind behind Operation Kedem which goal was to capture "East Jerusalem". The mission was carried out July 8, 1948 by Irgun troops and was a total failure.
