No. One citizen may punch another, and not commit an act of war. War is generally believed to be a declared offensive between two nations, as when the United States declared war against the Axis powers (Japan, Germany and Italy) on December 8, 1941.

When and why did pro-Palestinian groups turn to terrorist attacks on Israel?

There were attacks from disorganized Palestinian Fedayeen as early as 1956 along the West Bank-Israel border during the Suez Crisis.

As to why they turned to terrorism, the Palestinian militants did not have resources large enough or extensive enough to actively challenge the Israeli military so they decided that the better way to attack would be to target Israeli civilians.
