abstract="The targeted killings committed by Israel against Palestinian armed groups during the second Intifada have provoked heated controversy and given rise to a considerable body of literature. Several Western governments and human rights NGOs, including in Israel, have condemned them. This article looks into the way the Israeli democracy has managed this &quot;policy&quot; of targeted killings. Is this modus operandi appropriate to asymmetrical war? How did what was supposed to be a weapon of &quot;last resort&quot; become a method used extensively? Have these killings contributed to lowering the number of suicide attacks since 2003- 2004 or on the contrary to multiplying them? Have they eroded the capacity and motivation of radical armed groups to go after Israeli civilian targets? © De Boeck Université.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
