Supporters of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine attend the popular conference on the anniversary of Israa and Mi'raj and Conquest of Jerusalem, in Gaza City, on March 11, 2021. The Siege of Jerusalem was part of the Muslim conquest of the Levant and the result of the military efforts of the Rashidun Caliphate against the Byzantine Empire in the year 636-637/38. It began when the Rashidun army, under the command of Abu Ubaidah, besieged Jerusalem beginning in November 636. After six months, the Patriarch Sophronius agreed to surrender, on condition that he submit only to the Caliph. According to tradition, in 637 or 638, Caliph Umar traveled to Jerusalem in person to receive the submission of the city. The Patriarch thus surrendered to him. Photo by Mahmoud Ajjour
