Aaronsohn family spurs Palestine victory tale in war
In a Haifa hotel Alexander Aaronsohn and his sister Sarah led a secret Jewish espionage band that fed Allied leaders vital data from Nazareth to Metullah. Their network helped the British push toward Gaza Beersheba while enduring brutal Turkish repressions. Sarah died in the line of duty, urging sacrifice for Palestine. Aaronsohn’s leadership and courage are lauded as pivotal in the Allied campaign and Zionist awakening.
