WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The intifada began on 9 December 1987, in the Jabalia refugee camp after an Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) truck collided with a civilian car, killing four Palestinian workers, three of whom were from the Jabalia refugee camp.

Detailed explanation-2: -This occurred in December 1987 when an Israeli vehicle struck two vans carrying Palestinian workers, killing four of them, an event that was perceived by Palestinians as an act of revenge for the death by stabbing of an Israeli in Gaza a few days earlier.

Detailed explanation-3: -The year 1987 marked the 20-year anniversary of the Israeli conquest of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, the formerly Egyptian-and Jordanian-controlled lands that the Palestinians called home.

Detailed explanation-4: -The First Palestinian Intifada (1987 – 1993) began on December 9, 1987 with riots protesting the killing of a young Palestinian man by the Israeli Defense Forces. The riots quickly grew into a much larger grassroots uprising – Intifada – against Israeli occupation.

Detailed explanation-5: -The intifadas – meaning “uprisings” in Arabic – were two Palestinian uprisings against Israel, the first in the late 1980s and the second in the early 2000s. Both intifadas had a significant impact on Israeli-Palestinian relations.
