Mongol raids into Palestine
Years: 1260 - 1300
Mongol raids into Palestine take place towards the end of the Crusades, as a follow-up to temporarily successful Mongol invasions of Syria, primarily in 1260 and 1300.
Following each of these invasions, there exists a period of time of a few months during which the Mongols are able to launch some raids southward into Palestine, reaching as far as Gaza.The raids are executed by a relatively small part of the Mongol army, who proceed to loot, kill, and destroy.
However, the Mongols appear to have no intention on either occasion of integrating Palestine into the Mongol administrative system, and a few months after the Syrian invasions, the Mamluk forces return from Egypt and reoccupied the area with little resistance.
