This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Eliyahu Giladi (1915 – August 17, 1943) was a Lehi fighter from Transylvania.

In Budapest, he contacted the leaders of the local revisionist Zionist movement, and with their help joined one of the groups of young people from the Betar organization who clandestinely emigrated to Mandatory Palestine in 1937.

[2] In Palestine, he adopted the Hebrew surname Giladi and joined Irgun, the underground paramilitary organization of the revisionist Zionists, under the leadership of David Raziel.

When the Irgun split in 1940, Giladi became part of breakaway militant Zionist group named Lehi, led by Avraham Stern, which decided, despite England's declaration of war on Germany, to continue its actions against the British rule of Palestine.

Like most Lehi members, Giladi was caught by the British security services and imprisoned at a detention camp in Mazra'a.

According to the testimony of Nathan Yellin-Mor and other Lehi members, from the spring of 1943 Giladi entered into sharp conflicts of ego and opinion with Shamir, and his behavior, which showed signs of imbalance, began to endanger the organization.

He threatened his comrades, including Shamir, with a revolver, [4] launched hasty and dangerous actions against the British Army personnel among the Jewish civilian population, allegedly proposing that members of the movement work as prostitutes.

[citation needed] Arie Perliger and Leonard Weinberg state that Giladi was assassinated because he wished to return to the Irgun.

Giladi was commissioned to send a shipment of weapons by boats from the Zevulun naval school in northern Tel Aviv.
