 As the attackers retreated, they left mines to slow pursuers.A British Army truck detonated one of the mines, and a police bomb disposal expert was killed attempting to defuse another.Two days later, the Palmach again bombed the police coast guard station at Givat Olga, killing a British soldier, while a Palmach attack on the Royal Air Force radar station on Mount Carmel failed when the bomb left by a Palmach team was defused in time.
