Until a Definitive End

Coercion theory began in the 1960s and it has been refined over the years to cover specific areas, particularly air power. Coercion versus terrorism is a growing field, yet coercive air power versus terrorism is a subject still in its infancy. The Israelis have used coercive air power against guerilla, insurgent, and terrorist groups extensively. In particular, the Israelis have used air power in conjunction with conventional land power to try to eliminate the threat from Palestinian terrorist groups.
