Jewish rebellion during Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628

Jews revolted against Emperor Heraclius during the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628. It was the last time Jews had autonomy over Jerusalem prior to modern times. Taking advantage of the weakening Byzantine control in the eastern provinces, Jewish communities in Palestine allied with the invading Persian forces against Byzantine rule, which had long imposed religious and legal restrictions on them.
