Evolution of Israel's CT Strategy

Israel's CT strategy has evolved over three distinct stages. Initially, the focus was on countering local terrorism sponsored by neighboring countries. In the second stage, Israel dealt with terrorist organizations based within the areas it controlled, such as the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
