March 21 of each year, Jordanians commemorate the anniversary of the Karameh Battle, which represents an important turning point in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, especially since it came after the June 1967 war, also known as "Al Naksa."

Jordan won the battle against the Israeli Occupation in the Karameh Battle.

The battle began when the Israeli Occupation Forces attempted to cross into Jordanian territory at 5:30 am on Thursday, March 21, 1968, when they launched a sudden attack with military force, in order to defeat the Jordanian Armed Forces and occupy the western heights of Jordan.
