Battle of Hijla

From Warlike

Q4871217




The Battle of Hijla was fought by the forces of the British and Turkish Empires during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of the First World War. Hijla is on the River Jordan a few miles upriver from the Dead Sea. Today the river is the boundary between Jordan and the "West Bank" area presently administered by Israel and the Palestinian Authority, but in 1918 it was territory of Ottoman Turkey. The British invasion had succeeded in taking Jerusalem at the end of 1917. British General Edmund Allenby attempted a "raid" across the Jordan toward Amman in an effort to sever the railroad and resistance was met at Hijla and to the north at Ghoraniyeh, where fords provided means to cross.
