Suicide terrorism was introduced to the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict in 1994 by the Palestinian militant organization Hamas.
There was an average of 4 to 5 suicide attacks per year over the
next few years until an exponential increase in 2001 led to a peak
of 44 suicide attacks against Israeli targets in 2002. Although the
number of suicide attacks has come down since then, the effects of
suicide terrorism on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict have
lingered, if not intensified. Israeli security measures imposed to
curb suicide terrorism have been arguably successful and can be
credited for the decline in suicide attacks since 2002. The
motivation for Palestinian terror organizations to carry out
suicide terrorism against Israel has, however, remained high. This
is linked to the increase in support from the Palestinian public
for violence against Israel as Palestinian perception of Israeli
high-handedness in responding to suicide attacks led many to lose
hope in the peace process. Suicide terrorism has undermined the
position of nationalist Palestinian groups actively seeking a
peaceful settlement with Israel. At the same time, it has weakened
international sympathy for the plight of the Palestinian people and
given Israel legitimacy for some kind of violent response.
Rejectionist Palestinian militant groups have successfully used
suicide terrorism to prevent a peaceful resolution to the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
