The battle of Adjnadayn All the literature on the battle of Adjandayn states that the specific location of the battle is unknown… Most sources say that it is named after the site were the battle took place, which according to Wikipedia and Britannica Encyclopedia is located 30 km West-Southwest of Jerusalem. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam, this battle took place somewhere between Ramla and Beit Djibrin. Based on this information, I placed the marker on this location. The battle of Adjnadayn had a decisive effect on the control of Palestine. Under the leadership of Amr b. Al-Asi and Khalid b. Al-Walid, the Muslim army clashed with the Byzantine forces trying to protect their rein in the region of historical Palestine. Taking place on July 30th 634, accounts of this battle describe it as exceedingly bloody and gruesome; although it ended with a decisive Muslim victory, it took more senior Muslim figures to achieve this victory than any other battle in the conquest of Syria. Aboce all, the strategic location of Adjnadin opened the door for the Muslim forces to move into the rest of Palestine.Source: The Encyclopedia of Islam, pp 910-911
