The Jordanian 25pdr battery open up and cause a Syrian T-34/85 squadron to bail out.

The Sexton then fires as well but fails to take them out. The Jordanian Anti-tank battery of M10s knocks out 2 more while the Fireflys finish them off. The M-41 squadron push ahead and fire on the IS-2 squadron bailing them out while the M48 squadron advance and knock out several BTR-50 APCs. The infantry remain in reserve.

Despite the tenacity of the Jordanians, the Syrians and PLA held onto the town. King Hussien will reorganize and try again.
