Palestinians are celebrating on Sunday the 20th anniversary of the First Intifada, the popular uprising that put the Palestinian cause back on the world agenda.
The Intifada (literally "shaking off" in Arabic) began with mass protests in Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip on December 9, 1987 after an Israeli military vehicle ran over a group of Palestinian workers at Erez checkpoint.
Israeli forces killed more than 1,500 Palestinians during the uprising, and left thousands of others injured or disabled.
This year the anniversary comes during an unprecedented state of division in Palestinian society with Hamas in control of Gaza Strip, and the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority in charge of the West Bank. Efforts by other Palestinian factions to repair the divisions have failed so far.
Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance groups, especially in the Gaza Strip, are using homemade projectiles in the place of the stones which were the symbol of the First Intifada.

An eight-year-old Palestinian child from Gaza City died on Monday after Israeli border guards delayed his entry into Israel, where he was to be treated for a brain condition, the Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) reported Tuesday.
