The Siege of Gaza of 332 BC, was a military event in the Egyptian campaign of Alexander the Great, who succeeded in reaching the walls by utilizing the engines he had employed against Tyre. After three unsuccessful assaults, the stronghold was taken by storm. The fortress controlled the main road that went from the Persian province of Syria to Egypt.
