Everything about Gush Emunim Underground totally explained
Gush Emunim Underground was a militant organization formed by prominent members of the
Israeli political movement
Gush Emunim, that existed from
1979-
1984.
In 1983, its members were involved in a retaliation attack after the murder of a
yeshivah student in
Hebron. In broad daylight, two men entered the
Islamic College of Hebron, spraying bullets and tossing a
grenade. They murdered three students and wounded thirty-three. In 1990, the three perpetrators of this attack, Menachem Livni, Shaul Nir and
Uzi Sharbav, were released from prison by Israeli president
Chaim Herzog. On their release, the three were hailed as "heroes" by leaders of the Gush Emunim movement. The Gush Emunim Underground also carried out car bomb attacks against Palestinian officials. As a result of these attacks,
Bassam Shakaa, the mayor of
Nablus lost both of his legs and
Karim Khalaf, the mayor of
Ramallah lost one of his legs.
The group was also known for masterminding a failed attempt at destroying the
Dome of the Rock in
Jerusalem.
Shin Bet agents arrested the members during an attempted bus bombing in 1984 and during interrogation discovered the group's plot to blow up the pillars of the Dome of the Rock. Three of the men were sentenced to life in prison for the Islamic College attack. Controversially, their sentences were commuted three times, so they left prison in less than seven years.
