Eliyahu Tamler[1] (simetimes rendered as Temler,[2] Hebrew: אליהו טמלר; August 25, 1919 – April 29, 1948) was a senior commander in the Irgun underground paramilitary group (also known as Etzel), who fought in the 1947–1948 civil war in Mandatory Palestine.

[4] In 1939, he immigrated to Eretz Israel, then Mandate Palestine, as an immigrant on the ship Parita, which sailed from the port of Constanța on July 12, carrying 857 Beitar activists, and after 42 days it arrived at the coast of Tel Aviv.

Upon his arrival, Tamler joined the Beitar groups operating in Mandate Palestine.

In 1942, Tamler was arrested by the British Mandate authorities in Haifa and sent to a detention camp near Mizra, from where he was released in March 1943.

As part of this role, he planned and carried out a large number of actions against the British authorities, such as the capture of a truck carrying explosives en route to the Migdal Tzedek quarries, the blowing up of communication pillars in the Petach Tikva area (1945), the capture of weapons from the British Army's warehouses in Sarafand,[5] the attack on the immigration and customs offices in Haifa (February 12, 1944), the blowing up of oil pipelines (May 1945), the capture of explosives from the Solel Boneh Company warehouses (August 1945), the attack on the Haifa police building (September 29, 1945) and the attack on the Lydda railway station during the Night of the Trains (1 November 1945).
