Summary
This chapter consists of three sections. I begin with a brief general outline of the eruption of the Second Intifada, and the reestablishment of PIJ’s military wing, the al-Quds Brigades. I then proceed to analyze the distribution and longevity of PIJ cells in the West Bank in this period. Last, I end this chapter by discussing why PIJ was able to return with such force once the Second Intifada erupted.
