ABSTRACT

Intifada Al Aqsa-the Palestinian uprising-is the latest peak in the long term Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The current Intifada commenced in September 2000 and is continuing at the time of this writing. During the 3 years of the Intifada, Palestinian militants set off bombs, many times by suicide bombers, in Israeli shopping malls, buses, restaurants, and other crowded places, killing and maiming many Israeli citizens.
