Following the 1967 Six Day War, Israeli forces invade Jordan at the Jordanian town of al-Karama in an attempt to wipe out the Palestinian resistance group Fatah. The battle is considered a key moment in the development of the Palestinian resistance movement, with the Israeli army taking major losses and withdrawing after fifteen hours. Combined forces of Jordanian and Palestinian resistance fighters defended against the invasion. Al-Karama was located just a few km away from the ceasefire line after the 1967 war when Israel occupied the West Bank, and was an important base for Palestinian fighters (fedayeen) from Fatah, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين (PFLP), and other smaller organizations. In a war mostly fought using guerilla tactics due to the Israeli Army having vastly more powerful resources, this battle also stands out as one in which the Jordanian and Palestinians saw the build up of Israeli forces before the attack and decided to stay and fight a more traditional battle. Although the Israeli army did destroy the Fatah base, their heavy losses and retreat were a major morale boost across the Arab world and led to an increase in support for the fedayeen, and Fatah in particular, launching it into the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) the following year.

The Fourth Battle of Tucson was a raid during the lengthy wars between Spanish colonists in Arizona and its region and Apache Indians. At break of day, on March 21, 1784, a force of no more than 500 Apaches and Navajos attacked Spanish cavalry guards protecting a herd of livestock at the Presidio San Augustin del Tucson in southern Arizona. The Native forces succeeded in capturing 13 horses, leaving five soldiers dead and one wounded.
