Jewish Resistance Movement
The Saison officially ended when the Haganah, Irgun and the Lehi formed the Jewish Resistance Movement, in 1945. Within this new framework, the three groups had different functions, which served to drive the British out of Palestine and create a Jewish state.
The Haganah officially withdrew from the Jewish Rebellion on 1 July 1946, but "remained permanently unco-operative." British estimates of the Haganah's strength at this time were a paper strength of 75,000 men and women with an effective strength of 30,000.
