As an officer of the Haganah, he served under the leadership of Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, who would in 1952 become the second president of Israel. On June 30, 1924, Tehomi shot and killed Jewish Dutch poet, novelist and diplomat Jacob Israël de Haan, who was living in Jerusalem as a journalist. De Haan had come to Palestine as an ardent zionist, but he had become increasingly critical of the Zionist organizations as he favoured a negotiated solution to the struggle between Jews and Arabs.

  • As an officer of the Haganah, he served under the leadership of Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, who would in 1952 become the second president of Israel. On June 30, 1924, Tehomi shot and killed Jewish Dutch poet, novelist and diplomat Jacob Israël de Haan, who was living in Jerusalem as a journalist. De Haan had come to Palestine as an ardent zionist, but he had become increasingly critical of the Zionist organizations as he favoured a negotiated solution to the struggle between Jews and Arabs. The murder shocked Palestine and Europe, but the killer and his motive were not discovered. Sixty years later, after two journalists had succeeded in finding him, Tehomi readily admitted his action in an interview for Israeli TV and openly stated: "I have done what the Haganah decided had to be done. And nothing was done without the order of Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. I have no regrets because he [de Haan] wanted to destroy our whole idea of Zionism."
