Battle of Haifa

The Battle of Haifa occurred during World War I on September 23, 1918. It was a significant part of the larger campaign to capture the Ottoman Empire's strongholds in the region. Allied forces, including British and Australian units, attacked the city of Haifa in modern-day Israel, which was defended by Ottoman troops. The battle was marked by intense fighting and the successful capture of the city by the Allies, leading to control over key ports and railway links. This victory contributed to the eventual fall of the Ottoman Empire and the reshaping of the Middle East.
