The Second Intifada, also called the al-Aqsa Intifada after the mosque in which it began, is a Palestinian uprising that began in September, 2000. While attempts at peace have been made by outside sources as well as Israeli and Palestinian leaders, none have endured. Though a ceasefire was announced in 2006, there has been no formal ending to the Second Intifada and casualties up to 2007 have been estimated at over 5,000 Palestinian deaths and over 1,000 Israeli deaths.
