The wave of violence that unleashed between Palestinians and Israelis after Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount-Haram el Sahriff, or area of the shrine of Omar and the al Aqsa mosque, in the old city of Jerusalem, at the end of September 2001, marked the beginning of a new kind of war. These events, which received the qualification of armed intifada or intifada of al Aqsa - differentiating it from the first intifada that broke out at the end of 1987 and which only ceased after the signing of the Oslo Agreement and the Declaration of Principles on Palestinian-Israeli negotiations - produced many victims on both sides, political instability, extensive economic damage, mutual distrust at the population and elite level, as well as the derailment of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, which, despite ups and downs, continued to take place between 1993 and 2000.
