The hotel was the site of the central offices of the
British Mandatory authorities of Palestine, principally the Secretariat of the Government of Palestine and the Headquarters of the
British Armed Forces in
Palestine and
Transjordan.<a href="

Haganah, the principal Jewish paramilitary group in Palestine, though, unbeknownst to the Irgun, this had been cancelled by the time the operation was carried out. The main motive of the bombing was to destroy documents incriminating the
Jewish Agency in attacks against the British, which were obtained during
Operation Agatha, a series of raids by mandate authorities. It was the deadliest attack directed at the British during the Mandate era (1920–1948).<a href="
