That may or may not be true, and hardly matters imho ... the BBC piece is an overview, skips over a lot, mentions the more notable events only - there were riots of some kind right from when arabs heard about Balfour sending that letter to Rothschild ... chances are the first violence was started by natives, because the zionists preferred to fight in other ways, economically and politically, they had the cash and they had the friends in Whitehall ... they did form the terrorist unit Haganah, and got very good at violence very fast, this would have been not long after 1917, early in the mandate period ... some of the evictions before that had not been completely free of violence, it is said ... by 1920 there were fairly regular riots, the BBC notes the 1929 ones only because they were bigger and bloodier
