Late in 1938, the "Organization for illegal immigration"* - the Mossad* - was set up by the Haganah, under the leadership of Shaul Avigur*. During the Second World War, legal immigration dwindled to a trickle. The British Navy kept constant watch on the refugee boats trying to reach the gates of Palestine.
