In the first intifada, 18 cows were wanted by the occupation army on charges of threatening "national security", after the people of Beit Sahour bought them with the aim of relying on their production and boycotting the products of the occupying state. The story was covered in the movie "The Wanted 18" by directors Amer Shomali and Paul Kwan.

On this day in 1987, a popular uprising known as the First Intifada broke out as Palestinians rose up against the violence and abuse suffered under Israeli military occupation and to resist Israel’s encroaching settler-colonialism.
The First Intifada was sparked after an Israeli truck driver rammed through a crowd of Palestinian workers returning to the Gaza Strip, killing four people.
Palestinians brought their rejection of Israel’s brutal and repressive military rule to international attention by carrying out an uprising of collective and unified actions as popular committees and responses emerged.
As part of the resistance, Palestinians undertook peaceful demonstrations, threw rocks at soldiers and tanks, engaged in civil disobedience, tax revolts and commercial strikes, among other actions coordinated by grassroots committees.

Israel responded with brutal force as unarmed Palestinians were met with fully equipped Israeli soldiers who used live ammunition indiscriminately on the streets. Reportedly, over one thousand Palestinians were killed, including 237 children and tens of thousands were injured under a specific order to break the limbs of rock-throwing rebels, and about 120,000 were imprisoned.
After heavy-handed Israeli repression, the First Intifada gradually wore off and ended in 1993, but to this day, the uprising continues to be remembered as a time of heroic civil disobedience and rebellion, inspiring movements for the liberation of the oppressed people worldwide.
