List of aircraft hijackings and attacks on aircraft by Palestinian militant groups

Aircraft hijacking incidents involving Palestinian groups relating mainly to the Arab-Israeli conflict were at their height between 1968 and 1972 ^[1]. These incidents have widely been attributed to terrorism and attempts to force the release of Palestinian security prisoners in Israel and draw attention to the conflict ^[2]. Heightened measures by airlines and governments contributed to a gradual reduction of reported incidents towards the mid-1970s ^[1]. Governmental measures included the introduction of metal detectors in airports.

Below is a non-comprehensive list of hijacking incidents of aircraft and attacks on aircraft by Palestinian militant groups.
