Celebrating Karama Battle at Al-Ahliyya Amman University

At the invitation of Al-Ahliyya Amman University, within the Kingdom celebrations of the anniversary of Karama Battle, in which the Jordanian army provided the finest example in defeating the Zionist aggression against the Kingdom, Brigadier Ahmad Al-Hoian, military analyst and lecturer at the Military College, delivered a lecture about Karama Battle. Brigadier Ahmad Al-Hoian tackled the progress of the battle and achievements of the officers and soldiers of our Arab heroic army in the battle. The battle was led by the late King Hussein Bin Talal, and it is considered a milestone in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Israeli aggression suffered heavy losses in lives and equipment in the first battle in which the Israeli army leaves behind its casualties and destroyed equipment. Jordanian forces, along with the local defense, have been able to defeat this arrogant army efficiently and effectively in high combat professionalism. They were able to inflict losses on the Israeli army and forced it to seek cease-fire. Karama Battle will always be commemorated because it restored the nation confidence after the 1967 defeat. It raised our morals and shattered the myth of the Israeli army, he added. In this timeless anniversary, we remember our martyrs who offered their blood in the battlefield and sacrificed their lives to preserve their homeland in the face of anyone who is tempted to abuse it, he noted. Brigadier Ahmed Al-Hoian also discussed the lessons learned from this battle in the lecture.At the end of the lecture, which was attended by a number of faculty members, administrative staff and students, the lecturer answered the students' questions. A documentary film about Karama Battle was then featured.
