	~~'''Gamla''' (Gamala) was a Jewish fortified town in Northern Galilee (Golan Heights).~~

	~~==Overview==~~

	Gamla derives its name from ''gamal'' (Heb. ''camel'') since it was situated on a hill shaped like a camel's hump. It was built as a fortress on inaccessible slopes by the [[Seleucids]]. Conquered by [[Alexander Jannaeus]] around 81 BCE, it became the center of the Jewish region of Gaulanitis. It was the hometown of [[Judas the Galilean]], who led a tax revolt against the Romans in 6 CE.

	During the [[Jewish War]] Josephus reinforced the fortifications of the city. It was the last settlement in the north to hold out against the Romans (67 CE). It was totally destroyed after a bloody siege.
