In 1914, Jews of Tel Aviv were expelled by the Turkish
authorities and sent to Egypt. Just three years later, the Turks
would order the remaining 9,000 Jews out of Jaffa, in advance of
the British military offensive. The Jews fled north, where they
suffered from disease and starvation. They were allowed to
return with the British ousting of the Turks in 1917.
