It actually started around 11 century BC, when Samson slaughtered more than 1000 Philistines (ancient Palestinians).

That land belongs to the Canaanites!

Who I guess were ancient Canadians?

Why did he do that?

Because they've been fighting over that meaningless strip of land since time imemorial and will never stop until one side obliterates the other.

A bit earlier still

The Egyptians defeated the Sea Peoples and forced a subgroup, the Peleset, to southern Canaan to act as a buffer state to the Hittites to the north. This displaced the locals who would go on to become the Israelites.

The Peleset became the biblical Philistines.
