They were targeting the PA more before, in the past 2 years. They were doing so because of the terror war against Israel. The PA was established with the Oslo accords, and it was granted a large police force, which Israel themselves armed, for the purposes of restraining terrorists and keeping the peace. The PA was created under the accords- there were conditions for both sides under the accords. Israel was to, through steps, give the Palestinians autonomy, which they did. The Palestinians were supposed to end the violence, accept Israel's existence, end incitement and prevent terrorism. As it turned out, they did none of those things, and in fact many of the PA police were themselves actively involved in terror against Israel, and the PA itself not only didn't act against, but funded and aided and abetted the terror groups. Israel attacked the PA security facilities 1. In self-defense, since they were used as bases for attacking Israelis and 2. because the PA security had made itself illegitimate- it was only there to stop terror and maintain civil order in the PA. It did neither, and only served Arafat's greed and gave him an iron fist. Israel took them out because the PA police force forfeited it's right to bear arms. Also, they were, early on, trying to intimidate the PA into taking action against the terrorists themselves. Israel was attacking empty buildings when it's citizens were being mass murdered, in a vain attempt to intimidate the PA into action against the terrorists, by threatening it's future. The threats didn't work, and Israel never had the political freedom to take it down for real (which should be done ASAP).
