1182 CE
Saladin's nephew, Farrukh Shah, meanwhile leads a force from Damascus to ravage the now-undefended Latin Principality of Galilee.
The emirs of Bosra, Baalbek and Homs and their followers join Farrukh in this destructive raid.
Before returning to Damascus, the raiders seizes the castle of Habis Jaldak from its weak Frankish garrison.
The main armies still face each other out in the Transjordan.
A Frankish plan is proposed to occupy the water points, thus forcing Saladin into the desert, but the Crusaders are unable to carry this out.
The Muslim commander moves north and reaches Damascus on June 22.
The Crusaders recross the Jordan into Galilee and concentrate their army at Sephoria, six miles northwest of Nazareth.
