In 1946 the King David Hotel in Jerusalem was blown up by a Zionist gang made up of Irgun and Haganah members.91 people including Jews ,Palestinians and Europeans were slaughtered .Many others were wounded when the 7 story hotel was destroyed.This was an atrocity carried out by Zionists.

The King David Hotel was the British military headquarters. The argument could be made that it was therefore a military target.

Be that as it may, the Irgun warned the British military commanders well in advance of the bombing and advised that the hotel be evacuated. The British refused to evacuate the hotel.
