may 4, 1918 - Second Battle of the Jordan

Description:

The Second Transjordan attack occurred from April 30 to May 4, 1918, during World War I's Sinai and Palestine Campaign. Initiated by British forces, it aimed to strike east of the Jordan River following the unsuccessful First Transjordan attack on Amman. This battle involved engagements at Shunet Nimrin, Es Salt, and other areas, against Ottoman and German forces reinforced after earlier conflicts. Despite capturing Es Salt, the attack ultimately failed, leading to a British withdrawal. This operation, part of broader strategies in the region, influenced subsequent military actions, including the Battle of Megiddo.
