History

Historical Context

The Second Intifada began on 28 September 2000 after Ariel Sharon’s Temple Mount visit, sparking riots that killed 47 Palestinians in five days and saw the Israeli military fire about 1.3 million rounds. The conflict lasted until the 2005 Sharm el-Sheikh Summit. Today’s settler-police clash in Jalud reflects the same pattern of Israeli-Palestinian violence that originated in that uprising.
