On 8 October 1990 , 22 Palestinians were killed by Israeli police during the Temple Mount riots . This led the Palestinians to adopt more lethal tactics , with three Israeli civilians and one IDF soldier stabbed in Jerusalem and Gaza two weeks later . Incidents of stabbing persisted . The Israeli state apparatus carried out contradictory and conflicting policies that were seen to have injured Israel 's own interests , such as the closing of educational establishments ( putting more youths onto the streets ) and issuing the Shin Bet list of collaborators . Suicide bombings by Palestinian militants started on 16 April 1993 with the Mehola Junction bombing , carried at the end of the Intifada
