Palestinian factions participate a rally marking 13th anniversary of the so-called Al-Aqsa uprising or 'Second Intifada', in front of the headquarters of the United Nations (UNRWA), in Gaza City, Oct. 01 2013. Palestinians marked the 13th anniversary of the Second Intifada, or Palestinian Uprising, which began in September 2000 after the breakdown of US-mediated peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, which was compounded by a visit to Temple Mount, considered sacred by both Jews and Muslims, by former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
