The revolt began with spontaneous acts of violence committed by the religiously and nationalistically motivated followers of Sheikh Izz al-Din al-Qassam, who had been killed by the British in 1935. In April 1936 the murder of two Jews led to escalating violence, and Qassamite groups initiated a general strike in Jaffa and Nablus. At that point the Arab political parties formed an Arab Higher Committee presided over by the mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini.

"Britain Hits At Terrorism In Holy Land."
By Associated Press.
<blockquote><small>
Jerusalem. Oct 1. -- Great Britain struck with mailed fist today to crush a new wave of terrorism in the Holy Land.
On sweeping measures the authorities outlawed the Arab Higher Committee and started rounding up Its influential members. With telephone communication from the city suspended, and roads heavily guarded, police carried out their large-scale operations before dawn.
Silently they surrounded houses of Arab leaders, searching one after vhe other. Dr. Hussein Khalidl, mayor of Jerusalem, and Fuad Saba, secretary of the Higher Committee, were reported arrested and taken aboard H.M.S. "Sussex" at Haifa.
The manager of an Arabian bank was taken into custody.
Leaders caught in the police dragnet may be deported to Perim Island in the Red Sea.
Terrorism in the Holy Land reached a climax on Sunday, when the British Commissioner for Galilee and his bodyguard were assassinated ao they left the Anglican Church at Nazareth.
All of Palestine's land frontiers are guarded, and troops are on duty at Allenby bridge and other crossings over the River Jordan.
The swift action to suppress the disorders climaxed four months of terrorism and assassinations, in which the British proposal to partition the Holy Land into separate Jewish and Arab states injected new strife.
It followed quickly on British rejection of Arab demands for release of 200 prisoners seized in connection with the slaylngs at Nazareth.
The action taken against the Mufti deprived him of the president of the Supreme Moslem Council, the Higher Committee which administers Moslem religious affairs.
There was a report in Cairo, Egypt that the Mufti had taken refuse at the nosque of Omar and defied police to take him.</small></blockquote></ref>
