Ran (Haganah unit)

Ran was the counter-intelligence service of the Jewish settlement in Mandate Palestine.[1] It was established by Shaul Avigur (Meirov) and Yehuda Arazi (Tannenbaum), the latter a member of the Palestine Police Force.[1] Arazi joined the police on orders from the Haganah,[2] and rose to become a police inspector in the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).[2][3]

Ran's primary aim was to thwart the intelligence gathering operations of the British, Germans, Italians and Americans.[1]
