Beginning of Arab Revolt

Date: April 15, 1936 • Location: Eṭ Ṭaiyiba, Israel

This milestone marked the outbreak and beginning of this historic period, which spanned 1936–1939.

Two Jews were killed near Tulkarm in Mandatory Palestine, an act widely viewed as the beginning of violence within the Arab revolt.

The 1936 Tulkarm shooting of two Jews on the road between Anabta and Tulkarm took place in British Mandatory Palestine. Jews retaliated the next day against Arabs in Tel Aviv and killed two in Petah Tikvah.
