User:RoslynSKP/Gaza school of military strategy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gaza school of military strategy argued after the Southern Palestine Offensive, which occurred during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of World War I, that the offensive should have begun with a much stronger attack at Gaza, instead of the two corps' attack at the Battle of Beersheba. This would have required a repeat of the Second Battle of Gaza which had inflicted very heavy losses on the Egyptian Expeditionary Force infantry divisions. They argued that a breakthrough at Gaza could have resulted in a much quicker capture of Jerusalem and the capture of Ottoman armies not accomplished until the Battle of Megiddo in late 1918.
