The al-Aqsa Intifada: Military Operations, Suicide Attacks, Assassinations, and Losses in the First Four Years

Michele Esposito, managing editor of the Journal of Palestine Studies, has compiled a detailed summary covering the past four years of the al-Aqsa Intifada as part of the journal’s continuing coverage and analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

(PRWEB) April 12, 2005

Since the al-Aqsa intifada erupted in September 2000, events on the ground have moved at a staggering pace. Few organizations have attempted to keep comprehensive records on any of the losses Palestinians and Israelis have incurred or the operations Israel has waged, much less all of them. Data is often hard to find, incomplete, or narrowly focused or the methodology behind the reporting is unclear.

The Journal of Palestine Studies for the first time has collected the available data from Palestinian, Israeli, and international organizations, as well as from its own daily coverage presented each quarter in its Chronology and Quarterly Update sections to create a valuable reference folio covering:

• Overview of Israeli Military Operations from the Outbreak of the al-Aqsa Intifada

• Losses on the Four-Year Anniversary of the al-Aqsa Intifada: A Comparative Statistical Table

• Palestinian Suicide Attacks during the First Four Years of the al-Aqsa Intifada

• Israeli Assassinations during the First Four Years of the al-Aqsa Intifada

The collection provides handy reference material for journalists, researches, students, academics, politicians, lobbyists, and anyone needing quick access to statistics or a brief reminder of the military milestones in the course of the conflict. The material is clearly organized so that readers can easily find the specific information they need.
