	Gaza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The oldest attested records naming Gaza are ancient Egyptian, in which it is variously transcribed as q-ḏ-t or g-ḏ-t, in an attempt to render the Canaanite sounds ġ and z not found in the Egyptian of that period.
		In 145 BC Gaza was conquered by Jonathan the Hasmonean (Brother of Judah the Maccabee).
		With the onset of the Palestinian uprising known as the intifada in 1987, Gaza became a center of political unrest and confrontation between Israelis and Palestinians, and economic conditions in the city worsened.
