The Irgun Tzvai Leumi, "Irgun" or the National Military organization, was first established as a response to Arab riots in Mandate Palestine after August 1929 when 133 Jews were killed within a fortnight.
It later evolved as an anti-British organization following the reneging by England of the Balfour Declaration and League of Nations decision in its infamous 1939 White Paper.
Following a respite due to World War II, with Menachem Begin as its commander, the Irgun began its armed resistance in February 1944.
Funny how its graphic logo portrayal is copied by Hezbollah:
