On 24 July 1920, the battle began, when the French artillery began to overcome the Syrian artillery, French tanks began advancing towards the front line of the defending forces, and then French Senegalese soldiers began attacking the left side of the Syrian army, which is composed mostly of volunteers, and some of traitors attacked the Syrian army from behind and killed many soldiers and robbed their weapons. despite all, Al-'Azma did not care about the greatness of these calamities, and remained steadfast and determined. Al-'Azma had planted mines on the heads of the valley of "Alqarn", a corridor of the French army in the hope that when the tanks attack into, the mines explode. However, the traitors had already cut off the mine wires and some of them were caught carrying out their betrayal, but it was too late.
