Eliyahu Giladi (1915 – August 17, 1943) born with birth name Albert Green, in Transylvania. Giladi Hebrew name was Eliyahu [1] He was a Lehi fighter from Transylvania, Hungary. Giladi was executed in 1943 by his Lehi comrades after he entered into strong disagreements with Yitzhak Shamir[2] and other members of the Lehi movement about how Lehi should act;[3] Giladi was considered too extremist, even by Lehi's standards;in his memoirs, Shamir admitted in 1994 what had long been suspected: that the killing of Giladi in 1943 was ordered by Shamir himself, allegedly due to Giladi advocating the assassination of David Ben-Gurion, and arguing for other violence deemed too extremist by fellow Stern members.[4][5][6][7]
