1987 Beginning of the first intifada

Thirty years ago, on December 9, 1987, the Palestinian uprising (intifada) began in the territories occupied by Israel. The day before, an Israeli army truck crashed into a van carrying Palestinians who were returning from work in Israel to the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. Chietweor Palestinians were killed, 10 were injured. A rumor immediately spread among the Palestinians in Gaza that the car accident was deliberate Israeli revenge. Protest demonstrations began.

Initially, the rebels' main method was to ambush Israeli soldiers by teenagers and throw stones at them. Then Molotov cocktails, grenades, cold and firearms were used. In clashes that continued until the start of Israeli-Palestinian talks in Oslo on September 13, 1993, 111 Israelis and more than 2,000 Palestinians were killed, including those who were suspected of collaborating with Israel and were killed by participants in the intifada.
