Wadi Hawran
Wādī Ḩawrān, also known as وادي حوران is a wadi in Al Anbār, west Iraq.〔(Hawran Wadi ) at getamap.net.〕〔( Wadi Hawran ) at allaboutcountries.com.〕 Located at Latitude33.0333°, Longitude40.2500° (Wādī Ḩawrān ) is roughly midway between Damascus and Baghdad near the town of Rutba, Iraq. The landscape in this part of the Iraq desert is undulating and barren. The wadi flows from near the Jordanian border and traverses east through the Iraq desert till it meets the Euphrates near the town of Alaleya.〔( Satelyte view ).〕 The wadi collects water from an area encompassing most of Anbar province,〔( map at ) mapcarta.com.〕 and is at an elevation of 83 meters.〔( satelliteview of WadiHawran ).〕 The wadi was mentioned by Yakut〔Fred M. Donner, The Early Islamic Conquests(Princeton University Press, 2014) ( page 312 ).〕 and possibly Al Tabari〔History of al-Tabari Vol. 11, ( page 63 ).〕 and was traditionally the territory of the al-Qayn tribes. In the 19th century many Druze fleeing persecution entered the western part of the catchment, and in the 1870s the wadi was captured by Jabal Shammar.〔Alexei Vassiliev, ( The History of Saudi Arabia ) (Saqi, 2013).〕 On 27 March 1917 British forces captured 2,000 Turkish troops at the wadi.〔David Burg, ( Almanac of World War I ) (University Press of Kentucky, 2010).〕 Then in 2007 the bridge over the wadi was destroyed by a improvised explosive device.〔( www.2ndmardiv.marines.mil/News ).〕 ==References==
