Battle of Hafr al-Batin
The Battle of Hafr al-Batin (1929) was one of the last major battles of the Ikhwan revolt. The Ikhwan had already suffered a massive defeat at the Battle of Sabilla on March 29, and another defeat at the Battle of Jabal Shammar in August.
The battle consisted of a surprise night attack against the Ikhwan positions.
After the battle, the Ikhwan would attempt a raid on Awazim, but their forces had no fight left in them. In January of 1930, the remaining Ikhwan leaders would surrender to British forces.
