Hello.


The International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism, an
organization based in Israel, identifies  over a dozen regional
terrorist groups:

" Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) 
Fatah - Revolutionary Council (Abu Nidal Organization) 
Fatah Tanzim Palestinian
Force 17 Palestinian
Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement) 
Hizballah (Party of God) 
Kach and Kahane Chai 
Martyrs of al-Aqsa 
Palestine Liberation Front (PLF) 
Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) 
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (General Command)
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) 
Popular Struggle Front (PSF)"

Nations...
 
Although Israel's relations with neighbors such as Jordan, Egypt, and
Saudi Arabia aren't exactly warm, those nations' governments are not
generally classified as Israel's "active" enemies.

Countries such as Iran and Syria usually top the list of Israel's
current enemies, with Libya and Sudan also warranting mention.
