1341 BCE to 1198 BCE
The Hittites retaliate against the Egypt-Mitanni entente by occupying Syria, thus separating the allies so that Egypt is unable to aid Mitanni when the Hittites invade it from the west.
Hittite inroads in Syrian territory include the capture of the powerful city-state of Carchemish.
