ai generated text

The Salah al-Din Road is the main highway of the Gaza Strip, spanning approximately 45 kilometers from the Rafah Crossing in the south to the Erez Crossing in the north. It is one of the oldest roads in the world, with historical significance dating back to ancient times when armies from Egypt, Alexander the Great, and Napoleon traveled on it. The road was formerly a major link between Egypt and Syria, but its significance diminished following the establishment of Israel in 1948 and the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict. The road was controlled by Israel during its occupation of Gaza, but since Hamas took control, it has been widened and improved with funds from their tunnel industry revenues.learn more on wikipedia
