Day order of the Palmach headquarters from 6 November 1948 - notice regarding the dismantling of the Palmach headquarters and a summary of the activities of the Palmach headquarters for the Zionist yishuv and in the struggle to establish the State of Israel.
"The Palmach headquarters received an order to dismantle on 7 November 1948. This is, therefore, the last Day Order of the headquarters to its brigades […] for seven consecutive years the Palmach headquarters maintained its base and was a center of leadership and education, shaping the character and honing the force of its members […] with sorrow and pain we leave our post, knowing that on 7 November 1948, with the dismantling of the headquarters, a decisive step for dismantling the Palmach itself will be taken. We leave our post while the battle is still being fought, while the labor is not yet complete. We do not feel this act strengthens the people at war, yet we believe in discipline, and thus have accepted the order. In farewell - Palmach, attention!"
