The peace bans also managed to create confusion among the people,
who saw some of the rebels they once respected as fighting for an
honourable cause turning into collaborators. Villagers became confused
about who to support and who not. Many villages as a result stopped
giving support to the rebels at all. Rebel began to turn against rebel,
which was far more damaging to the peoples moral. Finally, the peace
bands, alongside their terror campaign, started to spread propaganda in
which they said that the British are willing to give amnesty to any rebel
who surrenders to the peace bands and gives up his arms.

The vacuum which was created at the leadership level by the killing or
arrest of some of the main leaders of the revolt helped in weakening the
revolt. In September 1938 Mohammad al-Salih (Abu-Khalid) was killed
in Dair Ghassaneh north west of Ramalla in a British ambush. He had
called for a meeting of rebel leaders on the 13th of September in an
effort to create a united leadership and mend the conflicts between ’Abd
al-Rahim Haj Mohammad and ’Arif ’Abd al-Raziq. By this killing Silat
al-Zahir area lost its most prominent leader.% ’Abd al-Qadir al-Husseini
was injured in November 1938 in Bani-Na’im village near Hebron in a
clash during which he also lost two of his deputies and sixteen members
of his fassil. * The killing of Issa Battat left the area of Hebron without
leadership on a high level. On March 26th 1939, the most prominent
leader of the revolt “Abd al-Rahim Haj Mohammad was killed in a clash
with the British forces in Sanur village near Jenin and with him died his
deputy Sulayman Khalifa. #
