Battle of Jerusalem

The Battle of Jerusalem refers to the military conflict during World War I, where British forces aimed to capture Jerusalem from the Ottoman Empire. Fought from late 1917 to early 1918, this battle was part of the broader campaign in the Middle East. The British, led by General Edmund Allenby, utilized strategic planning and surprise attacks.
