Extrajudicial Killings
Chronology 2003
Israel's assassination policy continued in 2003, during which 113 Palestinians were killed in such operations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian human rights organization Al-Haq. Israel fired on Palestinian population centers with helicopter gunships, conducted undercover assassination operations, and other illegal measures that would become routine during the next few years of escalated conflict.
