Battle of Megiddo begins (British offensive in Palestine)

On September 19, 1918 General Edmund Allenby's forces began a major offensive in the Palestine theatre (the Battle of Megiddo), routing Ottoman forces across the Judean Hills and coastal plain.

The operation shattered Ottoman military resistance in the Levant, accelerating the collapse of Ottoman control in Syria and Palestine and contributing to the end of Ottoman participation in the war.
