•  1834 Arab revolt in Palestine

  The 1834 Arab revolt in Palestine was a reaction to conscription into the Egyptian army by the Wāli Muhammad Ali. Ali, as a part of a modernisation policy, began the conscription of ordinary subjects. Traditionally, soldiers were recruited from freebooters, loot-seekers, mercenaries, slaves or members of a military caste. The imposition of a conscription levy led to a revolt in Palestine, headed by the prominent Arab clans of Nablus, Hebron and the Jerusalem-Jaffa area.
