While Palestinians in the occupied territories of the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem began what is now known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada, Arab citizens of Israel mounted solidarity protests that resulted in the killings of 13 Arab demonstrators by Israeli police.
Some Israeli media outlets refer to the events as "The October 2000 Riots" . Arab citizens of Israel refer to it as حبة أكتوبر or "The October Ignition."
The Or Commission was established to investigate the root causes for the events of October 2000, and specifically, the police response to the popular demonstrations and other disturbances.
