“…In late March 1917 the Ottoman military command, which forestalled a British seaborne attempt to invade Jaffa, decided on the deportation of its entire population (Ben Bassat & Halevi, 2018;Golan, 1984). Deportation was mainly enforced on Jews and the deportees were scattered across the Jewish villages and towns of central and northern Palestine.…”

“…Deportation was mainly enforced on Jews and the deportees were scattered across the Jewish villages and towns of central and northern Palestine. The Ottomans authorities prevented the looting of Jewish homes and property left behind by the deportees but failed to supply their vital needs (Alroey, 2006;Ben Bassat & Halevi, 2018;Shavit & Biger, 2001). Of the 9,000 Jewish deportees about 10 percent perished, mainly from disease, exhaustion and hunger (Alroey, 2006;Efrati, 1991, p. 291;Naor, 2012;Shavit & Biger, 2001).…”

In wartime cities become prime objects for attack and sustain different levels of destruction. The increase since the 1990s in the number and scale of violent conflicts has resulted in growing awareness of the devastating aspect of war in urban areas, which now enjoys the coinage “urbicide”. It is by far and large the outcome of the shift from research focused on the history and spatiality of armed conflicts, to a moralist-oriented approach based on the political economies and socio-cultural geographies of militarism. Yet, as portrayed in the case of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, it limits the analysis of the variety of effects of war which vary widely due to location, intensity of fighting and prevailing social, cultural and economic realities.

Boundaries are defined and maintained to establish and preserve cultural, societal and political integrity. Boundaries change as territorial structures and their related meanings change over time, reflecting the transformation of economic, political, administrative and cultural practices and discourses, and inherent relations of power. The Israeli metropolis of Tel Aviv is no different in this context. The end of World War I and establishment of a British Mandate regime in Palestine resulted in the transformation of political, economic, social and cultural structures. The British Mandate afforded the rise of and development of Tel Aviv from Jaffa's Jewish garden suburb into a separate urban entity. Different internal and external factors affected the delineation of the urban bounds of Tel Aviv following its declaration by the British Mandate government as an autonomous township.
