The intifada revolution refers to a series of uprisings by Palestinians against Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The term "intifada" means "uprising" or "shaking off" in Arabic, and the first intifada began in 1987 and lasted until 1993, while the second intifada took place from 2000 to 2005. These uprisings involved widespread protests, demonstrations, and acts of violence against Israeli forces and settlers, and were aimed at achieving Palestinian independence and self-determination.
