Meir Teomi (Hebrew: מאיר תאומי; July 15, 1898 – August 10, 1947) was a Russian-born actor and immigrant to Mandatory Palestine in 1919[1] who was murdered during a terrorist attack in 1947.
[2] Teomi was performing on stage in the Hawaii Garden restaurant of Tel Aviv on August 10, 1947.
An Arab gang from Al-Shaykh Muwannis stormed the cafe and shot five people dead, including Teomi.
"[5] The Arab Falastin newspaper incorrectly reported that the attack had been done by Yemenite Jews against Arabs, leading to a wave of Palestinian attacks against Yemenites.
[6] The Haganah also carried out reprisals against Arab targets it believed were responsible for the attack.
