The Etzel House (Hebrew: בית אצ"ל), commonly known as Beit Gidi (Hebrew: בית גידי), is a museum located in Tel Aviv, Israel dedicated to the Zionist paramilitary organization Irgun, also known by its acronym Etzel. The museum is named in honor of leading Irgun officer Amichai Paglin, codename "Gidi", and dedicated to the memory of the 41 Irgun fighters who died in the battle for Jaffa in 1948.[1][2]
