The Battle of Djebel Amour occurred in 1679 when Moulay Ismail of Morocco led an unsuccessful campaign in the area of Djebel Amour. His forces were no match for the Algerians and he was defeated at the Chelif river, near its source after his camp was attacked and bombarded with artillery which caused his men to panic and flee.
