The roots of this conflict is so old... In case of terrorist organisations - afaik - it were Jews who created such battlegroups first: Hashomer, Hagana, Irgun Zvai Leumi. It's 1905-1938. The first such Palestinian group is Qassam brigades - around 1935.
In 1947, UN divided Palestina into Jews' and Palestinians' parts. Jerusalem and surroundings supposed to be neutral land. No precise borders were set, no forces were dispatched to enforce this decision. Neither Jews, nor Palestinians were glad. Followed the "Non-declared war"...
