1945

August 28
The British permit the Jewish refugees who they had previously deported to Mauritius to return to Eretz Israel (see December 1940). Clandestine maritime immigration resumes. A small ship called "Dalin" breaks through the marine blockade and lands its 35 passengers on the beach at Caesarea. By the end of 1945, seven additional small "illegal" immigrant ships reach the shores of Palestine without being detected by the British.
