intifada (Arabic, ‘uprising’) A sustained campaign of violence, which began late in 1987, by Palestinian residents against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, after the Six Day War in 1967. Although a peace agreement between the Palestinians and Israelis was signed in 1993, a number of terrorist acts by Arabs has perpetuated the violence and disrupted the peace process.
