The Floor is devoted to operations carried out against the British. Most of them were made after the death of Stern. Lehi organization operated until Israel was established. After the death of Stern many members of the organization were arrested. At that time Most of the management was appointed from the Lehi center who was running by three key members of the organization: Nathan Yellin-Mor, Yitzhak Shamir and Israel Eldad. Each one of them had a different area of responsibility. The Organization carried out daring operations and on this floor of the museum every operation has a model that shows it.
