The Zionist murdered the British peacekeepers years before the war.
{...
The British administrative headquarters for
Mandatory Palestine, housed in the southern wing
[1] of the
King David Hotel in
Jerusalem, were bombed in a
terrorist attack[2][3] on July 22, 1946, by the militant right-wing
[4] Zionist underground organization
Irgun during the
Jewish insurgency.
[5][6][7] 91 people of various nationalities were killed, including Arabs, Britons and Jews, and 46 were injured.
[8]
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.
[8][9] When planned, the attack had the approval of the
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).

Not only was it an evil and barbaric crime, but could not be considered "defensive" in any way since the whole point was to then be able to massacre native villages because they would not have any defending peacekeepers any more.
Menachim Begin also gunned down the UN moderator, Folke Bernadotte.
{...
Folke Bernadotte, Count of Wisborg (2 January 1895 – 17 September 1948) was a Swedish
nobleman and
diplomat. In
World War II he negotiated the release of about 31,000 prisoners from German
concentration camps, including 450 Danish Jews from the
Theresienstadt camp. They were released on 14 April 1945.
[1][2][3] In 1945 he received a German surrender offer from
Heinrich Himmler, though the offer was ultimately rejected.
After the war, Bernadotte was unanimously chosen to be the
United Nations Security Council mediator in the
Arab–Israeli conflict of 1947–1948.
He was assassinated in Jerusalem in 1948 by the paramilitary Zionist group Lehi while pursuing his official duties.
