Who led the intifada?

The intifadas, which were Palestinian uprisings against Israeli rule, were led by a mix of individuals from various backgrounds, including both men and women.

In the first intifada (1987-1993), grassroots organizations, local committees, and popular movements played significant roles, and men were often more prominently featured in leadership positions. However, women participated actively in protests and community organizing.

In the second intifada (2000-2005), while men again held more visible leadership roles, women continued to be heavily involved both in activism and in the social fabric of the resistance.

Overall, it is not accurate to attribute the leadership of the intifada solely to one gender; both men and women played vital roles in these movements.
