List of Israeli assassinations

List of Israeli assassinations The following is a list of assassinations reported to have been conducted by the State of Israel. It includes attempts on notable persons who were reported to have been specifically targeted by the various Israeli security, intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Some of the listed killings were denied by Israel. Most fall within a series of campaigns, including Operation Wrath of God (launched in response to the 1972 Munich massacre), Israeli actions in the wake of the al-Aqsa Intifada (2000–), and strikes during the 2008–09 Gaza War. The policy of targeted killings is known in Hebrew as "focused foiling" (Hebrew: ‫ דקוממ לוכיס‬sikul memukad).
