Battle Of Mirbat
The Battle of Mirbat (9 July, 1972) was an attack by Communist guerrillas targeting an Omani government position during the Dhofar Rebellion in the town of Mirbat, Oman. During the Dhofar Rebellion, Britain assisted the Omani government by sending elements of its Special Air Service (SAS) both to train soldiers and fight against the Popular Front for the Liberation of the Occupied Arabian Gulf (PFLOAG) guerrillas, also known as the Adoo. The assault was defeated after the arrival of several BAC Strikemaster jetfighters belonging to Oman, firing rockets at PFLOAG's positions which forced the guerrillas to retreat. Despite only 38 bodies of the attacking PFLOAG guerrillas being recovered, many British sources have inflated PFLOAG casualties to as high as 200, and have also greatly exaggerated both the role of the SAS and the greater effects of the battle. Some historians have argued that the battle was used by the British as an ideological tool to mythologise the SAS, validate B ...

After Jordan lost control of the West Bank to Israel in 1967, Palestinian fighters known as fedayeen moved their bases to Jordan and stepped up their attacks on Israel and Israeli-occupied territories, taking the border town of Karameh as their headquarters. The IDF claimed that the purpose was to destroy the fedayeen camps at Karameh, and to capture Yasser Arafat, the leader of the PLO a ...
