Palestinian Political Violence
Palestinian political violence, called by some Palestinian terrorism and other armed resistance to occupation, refers to acts of violence undertaken for political reasons by individuals or groups of Palestinians. Groups that support or organize such actions currently include the Hamas , the Palestinian Islamic Jihad , the Brigades of Martyrs of Al-Aqsa dependent Fatah , the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine , the PFLP-GC , the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the organization Abu Nidal. Some of these groups are listed as terrorists by the United States and the European Union. The PLO (which includes Fatah , PFLP and DFLP ) was also considered a terrorist organization by the United States until 1993 , when the PLO and Israel proceeded to exchange letters of recognition, where Yasser Arafat verbatim wrote that the PLO "renounces the use of terrorism and other acts of violence" and that it was the guarantor of its members in this direction Summary of operations before 1993 Arab attacks against Jewish populations in Mandatory Palestine before the establishment of the State of Israel peaked at several points: Aref al-Aref , Hajj Amin al Husseini , Sheikh Izz al-Din al-Qassam , Abd al-Kader al-Husseini and Hassan Salameh was the main Palestinian militant leaders. Fawzi al-Qawuqji led several groups of Arab activists. According to David Meir-Levi 's Egypt has maintained a terrorist war against Israel from 1949 to 1956, launching attacks prepared since 9000 the refugee camps of the Gaza Strip. 400 Israelis were killed (260 in the year 1955 only) and 900 wounded in these attacks by Fedayeen. The Palestinians also led infiltrations from the West Bank, then annexed to Jordan. In total, the historian Benny Morris reports between 10 000 and 15 000 injections during this period. In 1964 , the PLO was founded to liberate that part of Palestine which had established the State of Israel . After Black September of 1970, the PLO and its member groups unleashed an international campaign against Israelis. This took the form of the massacre of Israeli athletes during the hostage crisis at the Munich Olympic Games in 1972 and numerous hijackings of civilian aircraft. During the 1970s, Israel suffered attacks and bombing of its northern territory from bases of the PLO in Lebanon. In 1974, a massacre was perpetrated in Maalot. These attacks lead the IDF to launch ' Operation Peace for Galilee by invading southern Lebanon and to cause the flight of PLO leaders in Tunis , allowing a relative calm in the region for a decade. On 10 July 2005 , 821 Israeli civilians were killed, victims of Palestinian terrorist acts (mainly suicide) since the Oslo accords of 1993. Of these, 553 were within the lines of the 1949 armistice. The locations of the attacks were on buses, restaurants, nightclubs, shopping malls, university residences and civilians in Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip , . Polls Palestinian institute, the Jerusalem Media and Communication Center, showed support for the Palestinian public against acts of violence against Israelis seen as resistance efforts. Other recent polls have shown opposition to the majority of Palestinians polled in "military operations" against Israeli targets, as they would go "against the Palestinian national interest". Some Israelis believe that the Palestinian Authority , established since the Oslo accords, is not doing enough to prevent terrorist attacks and reduce the support of the population vis--vis these actions. The Palestinian Authority is sometimes accused of supporting some attacks, particularly those of Martyrs Brigades Al-Aqsa , from the armed wing of Fatah and spread messages of anti-Israeli hatred through television, the press and the Palestinian educational system. The Palestinians argue that it is not practically possible for them to have the level of counter-terrorism requested by the Israelis, since much of the Palestinian infrastructure have suffered from clashes with the IDF. There were, the army said, examples of use by Palestinian groups of children to make suicide attacks. On 16 March 2005 , an Israeli border guard near Nablus found a bomb in the briefcase of Abdullah Quran, aged 12. The attack was averted only because the detonator placed in a cell phone did not work. Eight days later, on 24 March , Hussam Abdo , 16 years old, was arrested wearing an explosive belt , after, according to his confession, was paid by the branch of the Tanzim Fatah to blow himself up at the same crossing point that the event the previous week. It is a remote controlled robot was used to disable his explosive belt. From 1920 to 1948
