Muhammad Ali, on arrival in Damascus Eyalet,…
July 1834 CE
The arrival of Bashir's Druze troops follow intervention of foreign consuls.
In late July 1834, Emir Bashir leads his forces toward Galilee, but before advancing further southward, he makes a number of proclamations advising that the rebels of Safad surrender.
The rebel leadership in Safad agrees to negotiate and sends Sheikh Salih al-Tarshihi as an emissary to Bashir to arrange a meeting.
Bashir invites the leaders of Safad to the village of Bint Jbeil where they agree to surrender and submit to Egyptian authority.
Afterward, Bashir arrives in Safad where he arranges for rebel leaders from nearby areas to surrender as well.
Bashir's Druze forces under the command of his son Amin, enter Safad without resistance on July 18, 1834, making way for the displaced residents from its Jewish quarter to return.
