ABSTRACT
Sometimes conflicts overflow their immediate field of operations. Such geographical spreading can lead to the exportation of violence to a neighbouring or to a more distant region. In the 1970s, for example, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict had violent repercussions in some European countries. This internationalization led to the highjacking of planes, to terrorist attacks, to the taking of hostages by various Palestinian groups, and to targeted assassinations committed by the Israeli secret services.
