increased each year. In 1936 the Government spent £P 641,276, while in
1937 the amount had risen £P 867.295. The greatest increased was in
1938, when the expenditure rose to £P 1,034,825.*
One British ex-police officer in Palestine described with admiration
the difficulties the police and army had in catching one of the rebel
leaders.
"Among the Arab gangs that caused so much havoc to the
Security Forces in Palestine, "Aref Abdul Razzak stands
head and shoulders above the others, because of his
daring, his cheek and absolute scorn for those who tried to
trap him by the conventional rules of Warfare. In an age
when most of the gang leaders are forgotten, ’Arif, with
his "Now you see me, now you don’t" technique of fighting,
will long remain one of the army’s problem heroes, and
will never be forgotten while a single policeman of that
time is still living."®
In the same year that the French authorities were raiding, closing down
and arresting the revolt leaders in Damascus in 1939, the rebels in
Palestine managed to carry out 952 different operations.”
