The short-lived hope for peace following the Oslo Accords was shattered with the appearance of suicide-bomber attacks carried out by the Palestinian Islamic opposition movement. The frustration of the policymakers in Israel was deep. Not only had the hope for peace vanished, but the struggle against the terrorists had also become more complicated than ever. The desire to reassure the public led to increasing pressures on the intelligence organizations and the military to offer novel solutions. Yet the security establishment was still adapting to the new political reality, and its various arms were still fighting over their territory. The outcome was the reintroduction of the assassinations policy that later became the trademark of the Israeli counterterrorism effort. However, even as early as the mid-1990s, no proof could be given that the assassinations had any effect on the desire and capabilities of the terrorists to attain their goals.
