During the Siege of Gaza, Alexander the Great, by utilizing the engines he had employed against Tyre, succeeded in reaching the walls. After three unsuccessful assaults, the stronghold was taken by storm.Batis expected to hold Egypt in subjection until the Great King could raise another army and confront Alexander in a battle from this city. It was on an eminence, on the edge of a desert from which the surrounding area could be easily controlled.
