New Revelations in Lavon Affair Raise More Questions Than Answers
The Times of Israel
http://www.timesofisrael.com/new-revelations-in-lavon-affair-raise-more-questions-then-they-answer/The Israeli army and the Defense Ministry provided some arresting details on Monday about the rotten "Lavon Affair" of 1954, but did not provide a clear answer to the still lingering question of who authorized terror attacks in Egypt in hopes of preventing the pending British departure ... The plan, which Dayan opposed and which was executed while he was abroad, was to carry out terror attacks against British targets in Egypt, thereby, according to the logic of the plan, inducing Her Majesty's army to stay. Israel had trained several squads of Jewish Egyptians in Israel ... They were told, over what later turned out to be a poor connection, to attack British targets, stirring up unrest and quite possibly killing innocent civilians.
