- 1834–1835

Peasants, urban notables, and Bedouins rebelled against Egyptian conscription and taxation in Palestine and Transjordan, forming a broad coalition against Egyptian rule.
The revolt in the Damascus Eyalet involved Jerusalem, Nablus, and Hebron. A major tribal Bedouin rebellion occurred in Al-Karak. The peasantry constituted the bulk of rebel forces, but urban notables and Bedouin tribes were integral. Egyptian forces struggled to conquer the Palestinian fellahin rebels initially.
