This article deals solely with alleged State terrorist acts on the part of the government of Israel. For an account of non-governmental terrorist acts, including a number of massacres committed during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, see: Zionist terrorism

Israeli terrorism is used here to describe some Israeli military and covert operations, which sources as diverse as Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Ted Turner founder of CNN have called "state terrorism." [1] [2]

A list of military operations after 1948 is set out below. All of the following incidents, except the Lavon Affair, resulted in civilian deaths, and all have been cited as "terrorism":[citation needed]

  • Qibya massacre, carried out by Unit 101, among others, under the command of Ariel Sharon.
  • Lavon Affair העסק הביש, a ring of Israeli agents, Unit 131, conducted covert operations in Egypt during 1955, which included blowing up post offices and other buildings. There were no deaths or injuries.
  • Kafr Qasim massacre, carried out by the Israeli border police in 1956.
  • In 1982, an assassination attempt targeting Yasser Arafat killed 200 people died when a Beirut apartment block was destroyed by an Israeli bomb.
  • In 1985, 73 people were killed in another assassination attempt aimed at Arafat in Tunis. [3].

Targeted Killings

There have been many incidents during the Al-Aqsa Intifada in which Israel has killed individuals claimed to have been involved in violence against Israeli civilians, and in some cases also killing civilians around them in the process of what Israel has described [citation needed] as unavoidable and regrettable casualties.

It is alleged [citation needed] that the targeted individuals were members of organizations, including Fatah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, which are listed as terrorist groups by the European Union, Canada, the United States, and Israel, and whose activities have been condemned by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and by Human Rights Watch in the past. Some [citation needed] of the targeted individuals were simultaneously employed by the Palestinian Authority security forces.
