Journal of Strategic Studies Vol 37 No 1, February 2014, pp.65-90 (98)Summary: Israel's experience of conflict has changed from conventional interstate war to on-going conflict with non-state armed groups. According to this paper Israel does not expect such conflicts to be conclusive but to be a means of containing the threat by a process of attrition with only occasional use of large scale force. This policy differs from most Western approaches to non-state armed groups. The article points out that the policy may outlive its usefulness if the non-state groups develop increasing levels of state like functioning.
