History

Historical Context

The Second Intifada, ignited on September 28, 2000, by Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount, marked a shift from civil protests to armed conflict between Palestinians and Israeli forces. Over 3,000 Palestinians and 1,000 Israelis died during this period, reflecting deep-seated tensions. Recent violence, including the killings of Nidal and Amirah Amirah, underscores the ongoing instability and challenges to peace in the region.
