If you can read Hebrew, you'd know from this article that Jews were reported residing in Gaza in the period following the retreat of the Crusaders in 1291.
In 1481, a visitor indicates a large synagogue was serving the community. Rabbinical responsa on issues of observance of laws of agriculture in the 15th century are recorded. A Reb Meshulam of Volterra visited Gaza in 1395-96 and reported houses and fields of Jews and as they were well developed, it is surmised that upwards of a century earlier did the Jews recreate their lives there.
And see my Chronology of Jewish Presence in the Land of Israel or here at this blog.
