The Palmach was a paramilitary/ terrorist organisation who were more likely to throw a bomb through your window while you sleep than to fight you in a pitched battle.

Imagine a bomb being thrown into your home. After it explodes, you wade through the smoke and find your way to the window. You look outside in hopes of catching a glimpse of the assailant. Through the haze, you see a man running down the street with the most glorious bob cut you’ve ever laid eyes on.
Nothing will ever be the same.

I don't think their aim was to allow their victims to walk out of their houses...
>Around Jaffa, Palmach units destroyed houses in Yazur and Salama.
An order dated 3 January 1948 said "The aim is ... to attack northern
part of the village of Salama ... to cause deaths, to blow up houses and
to burn everything possible."

I’m sure, but no group has a 100% kill rate.
Even the best miss sometimes.

POV: you are a soldier in active battle. Enemy comes up to you, mildly bloodied, screaming, he throws a grenade. The last thing you ever see is his glorious hair billowing in the wind before the grenade takes you out.

You're confusing the Pallmach and the Lehi

No, the Palmach was not that. Stern and Irgun, yes. The Palmach did use bombs, but most famously to blow up bridges.
