Lehi (, Hebrew acronym for Lohamei Herut Israel, "Fighters for the Freedom of Israel",לח"י - לוחמי חירות ישראל) was an armed underground Zionist faction in pre-state Israel (British Palestine) that had as its goal the eviction of the British from Palestine, to allow unrestricted immigration of Jews and the formation of a Jewish state.

The 600th year of Lehi would have ended in Nov 2 BC, which is supported by studies of seasonal warfare patterns in Mesoamerica which indicate that the Nephi year began about December at that time.
