Rekhesh (Acquisitions) was the arms and munitions procurement branch of the Haganah Jewish defence force in Mandate Palestine.[1]
Rekhesh stole arms from British and Allied military bases, bought weapons on the black market and imported them from legitimate suppliers.[2]
The organisation was expert at modifying, dismantling, cannibalising and packing weapons so that they could be smuggled into Palestine without detection by the British authorities.[2] Shaul Avigur was head of the organisation and Ehud Avriel one of its main operatives.[3]
