The Battle of Berusheba was fought on 12 July 1939 when the Arabian Tribes, supported by the Lucis Commonwealth forces attacked the third largest Imperial garrison in the Israelia region. The breakthrough point came in early afternoon, when the Arabians, supported by the Gallian forces launched an attack and entered Berusheba from the south. At about the same time, Lucian forces entered Berusheba from the west while the ZANAC forces entered from the east and continued their charge into the town. Before evening, the city was captured with over 3,000 troops surrendering. The attack was strongly suggested by Gallian Brigadier Friedrich O'Connelly as Berusheba was a vital city that linked the rest of the Middle East to the Holy City of Jerusalemia.
