The paper deals with the issues of changes in the classification of the nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and current issues of the present form of this conflict from the perspective of international law. In the last few years, there have been no wars between the State of Israel and its Arab neighbours. This conflict has changed dramatically and takes the form of partial armed clashes, terrorist attacks, the use of booby traps and explosives fired by suicide bombers, and finally, acts of physical violence. The paper seeks to classify this form of conflict from the perspective of international law and to answer the question of the application of the law to this type of conflict.
