It is mainly used to describe two periods of uprising and violent protest by the Palestinians against Israel in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The first Intifada took place from 1987 to 1993, and the second, also known as al-Aqsa Intifada, occurred from 2000 to 2005. Both involved both armed conflict and nonviolent protest.
