Abstract

A documentary about the battle of Al Karama, in which the Jordan Arab Army defeated the Israeli enemy. The latter wanted to destroy the Jordanian Army and occupy the land, but in vain. This victory came after the defeat of the Arab Armies and the losses due to the 1967 war. The enemy’s goal was to occupy the mountains of Salt and reach Amman to destabilize Jordan. We will know more about the course of the battle and the plans implemented, through testimonies of warriors and battle field leaders who took part in the battle.
