This article is about Israeli military and covert operations, which have been described as terrorist acts.

Actions during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War

• A number of massacres committed during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.

• The exile of a large number of Palestinians during the Palestinian exodus of 1948; the largest single expulsion was at Lydda and Ramle on July 14, of 60,000 people, while expulsions were also ordered for Operation Hiram.

Actions following the establishment of the State of Israel

An incomplete list of military operations after 1948. Some of the following incidents were qualified by Israel as collateral damage resulting from counter-insurgency operations.

• Qibya massacre, carried out among others by Unit 101 under the command of Ariel Sharon.
• Operation Suzannah (also known as the Lavon Affair), conducted in 1954.
• Kafr Qasim massacre, carried out by the Israeli border police in 1956.
• In a 1982 assassination attempt targeting Yasser Arafat, 200 people died when a Beirut apartment block was destroyed by an Isreali bomb.
• In 1985, 73 people were killed in another assassination attempt aimed at Arafat, this time in Tunis.
• Several incidents during the 2nd Intifada in which Israel has assassinated individuals involved in violence against Israeli civilians, in certain cases also killing civilians around them in the process. The targeted individuals were members of militant organizations, including Fatah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad; also some were simultaneously employed by the Palestinian Authority security forces.
• Operation Days of Penitence, an Israeli military operation in the northern Gaza Strip conducted between September 30, 2004 and October 15, 2004

Actions by Israeli allies

• The Sabra and Shatila massacre was perpetrated during September 1982 in Beirut, Lebanon by the Phalangist Lebanese Christian militia; commonly cited estimates of the death toll range from 700-3000. The Israelis surrounded the camps and sent the Phalangists into the camps to clear out PLO fighters, and provided the Phalangists with support including flares, food, and ammunition. An Israeli investigation found a number of officials (including the Defense Minister of that time, Ariel Sharon) "indirectly responsible" for not preventing the killings. The Kahan Commission wrote: "responsibility is to be imputed to the minister of defense for not ordering appropriate measures for preventing or reducing the danger of massacre as a condition for the Phalangists' entry into the camps." However, some consider the sole responsibility for the massacre to lie with the Phalangists, rather than Israel.
