Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to describe the legal arguments that have been invoked by State of Israel to justify the use of targeted killing as a counterterrorism tactic. The main Israeli arguments, such as the principle of jus ad bellum and the legitimate self-defense principle under Article 51 of the UN Charter, were listed and analyzed in the terms of Public International Law. The understanding of the Israel High Court of Justice on targeted killing as a legitimate mean of Israel's war against terrorism was also stated and discussed.
