The rebel leadership in Safad agreed to negotiate and sent Sheikh Salih al-Tarshihi as an emissary to Bashir to arrange a meeting. Bashir invited the leaders of Safad to the village of Bint Jbeil where they agreed to surrender and submit to Egyptian authority. Afterward, Bashir arrived in Safad where he arranged for rebel leaders from nearby areas to surrender as well.[11] Bashir's Druze forces under the command of his son Amin,[12] entered Safad without resistance on 18 July 1834, making way for the displaced residents from its Jewish quarter to return.[13] The instigators were arrested and later executed in Acre.[citation needed]
