This is list of terrorist attacks and foiled plots attributed to the militant organization Al-Qaeda and its regional affiliates directed against the State of Israel or Israeli and Jewish interests abroad. Historically, Al-Qaeda focused on the "far enemy" (the United States and the West). However, the organization has frequently targeted Israel as part of its ideological narrative. While Israel's security services have prevented many domestic attacks, Al-Qaeda has successfully struck Israeli and Jewish targets in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
