For most of its sixty years, the State of Israel has faced an ongoing confrontation generated by guerilla/terrorist movements. After World War II, it became customary to call this phenomenon a war of revolution or insurgency, connoting confrontation launched by politicalrevolutionary movements whose goal is to attain governance through violent means and the politicization of the local population. This is not guerilla or terrorist warfare in the classical sense, rather a war that in the beginning uses guerilla tactics (rural or urban) and even terrorism, at the same time that it attempts to persuade the local population of the justness of the cause.
