Siege of Gush Halav
The Siege of Gush Halav refers to the Roman siege and sack of the fortified Galilean town of Gush Halav (Gischala, modern Jish), during the Great Jewish Revolt. Following the flight of the main Zealot fighting force from the town, the Romans took it by force.
==Background==
Both Josephus and later Jewish sources from the Roman-Byzantine period mention the fine olive oil for which the village was known.〔''The Guide to Israel'', Zev Vilnay, Jerusalem, 1972, p. 539.〕 According to the Talmud, the inhabitants also engaged in the production of silk.〔''Encyclopedia Judaica,'' Jerusalem, 1978, "Giscala," vol. 7, 590〕
Gischala was the home of Yohanan Ben-Levi of Gush Halav, better known as John of Gischala, a wealthy olive oil merchant who became a chief Zealot commander in the Jewish revolt in the Galilee and later Jerusalem.〔Aaron M. Gale. ''Redefining ancient borders: The Jewish scribal framework of Matthew's Gospel''. p20. ()〕 According to Josephus, John of Giscala was eager for rebellion and upgraded the town's fortifications. In one account Josephus writes that John fortified the town on Josephus' instructions, but in another he writes that John was hostile to the main Judean government, which Josephus represented in the Galilee, and undertook the fortifications at his own expense.〔 Josephus includes the town in the list of 17 strategic fortifications undertaken in the wake of the revolt, suggesting the high importance of Gush Halav as a military fortress.〔
After the fall of Gamla and Jotapata in 67, Gush Halav was the last Jewish stronghold in the Galilee and Golan region during northern phase of the revolt.
