On this day, Israel marks the anniversary of the Second Intifada, the Palestinian uprising that began after Ariel Sharon visited the Temple Mount, known to Muslims as the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, in September 2000. The visit sparked deadly clashes that escalated into years of violence, leaving thousands dead and shaping Middle East politics for years.
