At least 502 Palestinians have been killed from the time their uprising began on Dec. 9, 1987 through the end of last week, according to figures provided by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Arab Refugees and foreign news agencies.
Those figures vary from Israel Defense Force statistics, which put the Palestinian dead at 475 in the same time period.
According to the IDF, more than 40 were slain by fellow-Palestinians for allegedly collaborating with Israeli authorities.
Unofficial statistics put the number of Jews killed in intifada-related incidents at 20.
The IDF says 14 Jews have been slain — six soldiers and eight civilians.
