The book explores the main moral, ethical and operational dilemmas
of targeted killings from an Israeli perspective. Even though many
countries contending with terrorism have adopted this tool (either
overtly or covertly) within the arsenal used in implementing their
counter-terrorism policies, it seems that Israel, as one of the
world's leading practitioner of targeted killing in its
counter-terrorism effort, constitutes the most appropriate case
study for reviewing implications and dilemmas associated with this
practice. Each chapter will present a different
ethical-moral-operational dilemma emanating from a deployment of a
targeted killing. The analysis of Israeli considerations and
solutions to these dilemmas is built around interviews with Israeli
decision-makers, former senior security officials and other
experts. The chapters also cover public opinion polls in order to
highlight the views of the Israeli public vis-a-vis each dilemma.
Finally, chapters will conclude with lessons learned and offer
recommendations for a practical and moral solution. The final
chapter then draws together universal conclusions and
recommendations for the use of targeted killings.
