RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza, 18 February 2022. Palestinians attend the ceremony of Book launch "Gazan families in the Ottoman archives", in Gaza city. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Sheikh Ali Al-Ghafri, the author of the book. STORYLINE: Gaza was a commerce hub and a route linking Asia and Africa during the Ottoman Empire. Palestine, which has witnessed many conflicts throughout history, came under Ottoman rule in the 16th century. When Yavuz Sultan Selim defeated the Mamluk ruler Kansu Gavri in the Battle of Marj Dabiq in 1516, Syria and Palestine joined the Ottoman lands. Yavuz Sultan Selim entered Jerusalem on Dec. 29, 1516 Under Ottoman rule, the Palestinian territory was organized into three states, Jerusalem, Gaza and Nablus, all linked to the Damascus Province. Palestine, in the last period of the Ottoman Empire, was first linked to the state of Sidon, later to Syria and then to Beirut, which was founded in the last period. The Ottomans ruled in Palestine for 401 years. The Ottoman Empire also applied its own administrative methods in Palestine and the Ottoman regime dominated the region. Footage by/APAwire
