There were attacks from disorganized Palestinian Fedayeen as early as 1956 along the West Bank-Israel border during the Suez Crisis. These attacks targeted civilians in Israeli towns across the border. The PLO was formed in 1964 and began to coordinate similar attacks against Israeli civilians in the next few years.

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.
