Original sentence: While still on demobilization leave, he took part in an Irgun operation against an occupational military target to gain access to weapons from a British army depot near Netanya
Edited sentence: In the circumstances, a military court would have had no alternative but to order his execution.There must be some doubt as to whether he was actually offered a commutation; as he was on demobilisation leave at the time of his arrest, and therefore still a member of the British Army, he was automatically guilty of at least four capital crimes under military law (including desertion, treason, passing information to the enemy and giving aid to the enemy) in addition for the charges related to the police station attack.While still on demobilization leave, he took part in an Irgun raid to steal weapons from a British army depot near Netanya
