Al-Aqsa intifada

The Second Intifada, also known as the al-Aqsa Intifada (, Intifāat El Aqa or Intifāat Al Aqa; (or hyphenated אינתיפאדת אל-אקצה), Intifādat El-Aqtzah) began in September 2000. It is the second major wave of violence between Palestinians and Israelis after 1967 (see also First Intifada). "Intifada" (also spelled Intifadah) is an Arabic word for "uprising" (literally translated as "shaking off"). "Al-Aqsa" refers to a prominent mosque on the Temple Mount. Many Palestinians consider the Intifada to be a war of national liberation against foreign occupation, whereas many Israelis consider it to be a terrorist campaign.
