Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin home of the assassin. Many other streets and public buildings around the country were named for Rabin as well. The assassination has been described as emblematic of a "kulturkampf" ("cultural struggle") between religious right-wing and secular left-wing forces within israel. Ilan Peleg of the Middle East Institute has described Rabin's assassination as "reflecting a deep cultural divide within Israel's body politic [...] intimately connected with the peace process" which illustrates both increased polarization and political conflict in the country. On 28 March 1996, the Shamgar Commission issued its final report into the assassination. It was critical of Shin Bet for
Yitzhak Rabin at Kfar Giladi. He trained his men in modern tactics and how to conduct lightning attacks. After the end of the war the relationship between the Palmach and the British authorities became strained, especially with respect to the treatment of Jewish immigration. In October 1945 Rabin was in charge of planning and later executing an operation for the release of interned immigrants from the Atlit detainee camp for Jewish illegal immigrants. In the Black Shabbat, a massive British operation against the leaders of the Jewish Establishment in the British Mandate of Palestine, Rabin was arrested and detained for five months.
