Arab assassins kill Louis Andrews, the British governor of the Galilee region. This is a new phase in the Arab Rebellion, which continues until the spring of 1939. The British now act with an iron fist against the Arabs.

An economic crisis erupts in Palestine as a result of the bloody riots and the separation of the Jewish economy and the Arab economy. Throughout the year, 16 new settlements, mostly "stockade and tower," are set up.
