  • First Intifada

    First Intifada
    Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank engaged in an uprising, or intifada, against Israeli control of these territories. Palestinians attacked Israelis with improvised weapons and firearms supplied by the PLO, which organized much of the uprising. Israel tried to contain the violence, which was directed at soldiers and civilians, primarily in the territories. This conflict continued until the Oslo Accords were signed in 1993.
