Human Rights
Suicide Bombings
Attacks on civilians have been carried out by subnational groups on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict -- in addition to the far greater level of ongoing violence perpetrated by the State of Israel against Palestinian civilians, detailed elsewhere in "BY TOPIC: Human Rights". This section offers a list of articles and other resources that specifically relate to violence by Palestinian groups against Israeli civilians, including suicide bombings and other attacks.
