Turton, was fatally wounded in a Lehi bombing in 1942. His legs had to be amputated, and he died a week later. Ben-Yosef became a martyr for the Revisionist cause. Today, he is commemorated by some in Israel as one of the Olei Hagardom. Streets in Israel have been named for him, and he is commemorated on Olei Hagardom memorials throughout the country.
