Here is a gift for you Irosie Arabs (compared to us Jews) preserve their surnames jealously, and in general, they respect their genealogy, lineage, and surnames.In one of the articles dedicated to families in Gaza of Egyptian origin, the author cites at least 60 Gazan Egyptian surnames.He tells from which city the father, or the grandfather originated from, who he married and which families were created due to marriage ties.Among the names he came across were:1. Al-Jerjawi - Al-Jerjaoui - from the city of Girga - Girga in Upper Egypt2. Shobaki - A-Shobaki - from the village of Shobak - Shobak in Egypt3. Al-Faiyumi - Alfiyomi - from the city of Faiyum in EgyptGazans who fled the Israeli bombing begged the Egyptian authorities to open the Rafah crossing for them, stating: “We are from Egypt. We are Egyptian”.So, apparently, they're not lying.Elon Ganor wrote an interesting article in Calcalist in which he says that in 1831 Ibrahim Pasha (1789-1848), the adopted son of the ruler of Egypt at the time, Muhammad Ali, with an army of 40,000 Egyptian soldiers went north towards Israel and Syria in a successful rebellion against the Ottoman empire.He conquered Gaza after a brutal siege of six months and later advanced to Acre and in fact conquered nowadays Israel and large parts of Syria.Many of his soldiers settled in Gaza.As part of this occupation, Muhammad Ali, who was very sensitive to the problem of overpopulation in Egypt (even today there are more than a hundred million inhabitants in Egypt), already then decided to transfer the inhabitants of entire villages from Upper Egypt into nowadays Israel as part of the solution to Egypt's population density. My conclusion: Blame Muhammad Ali (4 March 1769 – 2 August 1849)… The funny thing is most of these people are in Da Nile and should RETURN there or HASHEV….
