Mahal (Israel)
Mahal, more often spelled Machal (Hebrew: מח"ל), refers to the group of overseas volunteers who fought alongside Israeli forces during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Some 4,000 volunteers, mostly Jews but also non-Jews, arrived from all over the world. Mahal is an acronym of מתנדבי חוץ לארץ (Mitnadvei Hutz LaAretz, "volunteers from abroad").
Mahal was disbanded after the war and most of the volunteers went home, although some remained in the country as permanent residents.
