While the men were discussing their plan, an Iraqi patrol unit was in the area and eventually checked on one of the three houses in which the resistance group congregated. The two sides then engaged in a ten-hour battle. Heavily outnumbered and underarmed, the Kuwaiti men were eventually defeated by Iraqi tanks and soldiers. Of the nineteen men, seven were severely wounded and twelve died.

“Amazing! A really informative day.”
We had a great experience with Waleed! He told us a lot of great information and facts. He really did know everything! We were unlucky that some of the things we wanted to see were closed for Ramadan but he more than made up for it. Really loved going across the causeway and visiting the souk. 10/10!
