Battle of Yibneh (1123)

Also known as Battle of Ibelin, Battle of Yibna

With Baldwin II in captivity in Aleppo, the regent Eustace Grenier led a Crusader field army of 7,000 men against a Fatimid invasion force of 16,000 sent by the vizier Al-Ma'mun al-Bata'ihi. They met on 29 May 1123 between Ascalon and Jaffa, near Yibna (Yavne). The Frankish charge shattered the Egyptian line, killing some 6,000 Fatimid soldiers. The following day, 30 May, the Venetian fleet under Doge Domenico Michiel destroyed the Fatimid navy off the coast of Jaffa. The twin victories effectively ended Fatimid offensive power against the kingdom and cleared the way for the Frankish siege of Tyre the following year.
